The Arabic inscription is "Jama'at Haigazian," which, of course, means the same.

Haigazian University (HU) is named in honor of Dr. Armenag Haigazian, former
headmaster of the Jenanian Apostolic Institute of Konya, Turkey. Dr. Haigazian
was a highly respected educator who received his Ph.D. from Yale University and
returned to Turkey to serve his Armenian compatriots. When the “ethnic
cleansing” of the Armenians began, Dr. Haigazian had the opportunity to escape
to the United States, but he chose to stay and continue his ministry. Later, he,
along with many Armenian intellectuals, was rounded up to be driven to the
Syrian desert. Dr. Haigazian died on the way in the prison of Kharpert in 1921.
Concurrently, eight Armenian colleges were also destroyed in Turkey.
Although these aspects of education and service were brought to an end, the
dream continued in the minds of Dr. Haigazian’s descendants and others. The
Mehagian family (Mary Mehagian and Florence Mehagian-Guertmenian) of Phoenix,
Arizona, close relatives of Dr. Haigazian, donated capital through the AMAA and
worked hand in hand with Stephen Philibosian to get Haigazian College started.
The University was founded on October 17, 1955, by the Union of Armenian
Evangelical Churches in the Near East (UAECNE) and the Armenian Missionary
Association of America (AMAA) as a liberal arts college to assist in the
preparation of teachers and pastors.
Haigazian operated under its original
name of “College” until 1991. In keeping with Near Eastern nomenclature, the
name was changed to Haigazian University College in 1992. On December 28, 1996,
the Ministry of Culture and Higher Education of Lebanon issued Decree number
9657, which authorized the institution to change its name to Haigazian
University.
