Tala Karkar did not realize that May 5, 2006 would become a determining date in her life. As a student ambassador, involved in receiving visitors to the University, Tala with other student ambassadors took part in hosting a group of pilgrims from the Diocese of Beaumont, Texas, led by Bishop Guillory.
As part of the visitors’ program students engaged with the group members over lunch, during which she expressed her aspiration to further her education after obtaining
her Bachelor degree at Bethlehem University. Upon their return to Texas, 11 members of the Diocese of Beaumont pondered over how to assist Tala and decided to pool
their resources to help Tala fulfill her ambitions. As a result of their generosity, Tala is now majoring in Public Administration as an M.A. student at Lamar University in Texas. Tala is eager and committed to complete her studies and return to Bethlehem University where she hopes to teach and train others in Public Administration.
