The idea of a leadership institute was conceived at the time Bethlehem University awarded an honorary doctorate to Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini. Subsequently, various friends of the University supported this idea and helped to secure funding to develop a leadership institute in the Cardinal’s honor. A think tank comprised of Palestinian and expatriate academics and NGO leaders was formed to develop the concept of the Cardinal Martini Leadership Institute consistent with the mission of Bethlehem University and responsive to the needs of the Palestinian people.
