Deerfield Honored with Surprise Visit from His Majesty King Abdullah II ’80
The Deerfield community was honored yesterday with a surprise visit from His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan, Class of 1980, who delivered a compelling presentation at School Meeting.
His Majesty assumed the Hashemite throne in February of 1999, following the death of his father His Majesty King Hussein, and this year marks the beginning of his third decade as monarch, where he serves as Head of State and Commander in Chief of his nation’s armed forces. He is one of the Arab world’s most prominent and principled advocates for interfaith understanding, peace, pluralism and human rights. During the Arab Spring and the strife that followed, he sought to strengthen his nation’s political institutions through electoral, constitutional and parliamentary reform and, with his wife, Her Majesty Queen Rania, he has sought to extend and deepen educational opportunities and access for young people throughout Jordan.
