Gulf University celebrated the glorious National Day on the evening of Wednesday, December 10, within the university campus, in a distinguished event organized by students from various colleges. The celebration brought together youthful creativity and national spirit in a setting that reflected the students' ability to lead and organize major events with a strong sense of responsibility and belonging.

This year's celebration stood out for its reliance on recycled materials in most of the decorations and activity corners, in line with the sustainability goals adopted by the university. This added an innovative touch to the event, reflecting the students' environmental awareness and their commitment to applying sustainable practices across university activities.

The campus was adorned with decorations inspired by authentic Bahraini heritage, accompanied by a diverse program of student activities, including a competition for the best traditional attire, a henna corner, and a range of recreational games for families and children, in addition to distinctive heritage performances presented by the Al-Habban Folk Arts Band, all within an atmosphere filled with pride and national belonging.
