On
the occasion of launching Beirut Arab University Alumni website, I would
like to extend a message to all my university colleagues, Alumni, and
friends to whom this website provides a platform for communication and
interaction.
Our aim is to work for the best of our community, which was chosen by
our pioneers to be the place to establish Beirut Arab University 50
years ago. Ever since, it has been a model for successive generations
with its role in the advancement of science and knowledge, the service
of the local community and public interest, and the enhancement of
education and academic research.
Beirut Arab University Alumni was created with the purpose of bringing
together all the graduates of the university and highlighting their
achievements in their fields and their contribution to their societies.
Dear Colleagues,
Throughout its history, Beirut Arab University has gone through phases
of development and change and the number of its graduates of all
nationalities has increased. Currently, the university is undergoing
major changes involving the creation of a new image that may best
reflect the university’s new strategy of developing up-to-date courses,
supporting cutting-edge research, and preparing graduates to meet the
demands of a highly competitive job market.
The university acknowledges its responsibility towards its graduates and
is willing to provide an organizational framework to their aspirations
and dreams. The university also owes its graduates to support its
programs and goals in the form of sponsorship of its scientific and
academic activities or in the form of educational grants.
Universities do not function in isolation. They reflect the needs of the
community and aim at serving the interests of the graduates and, in
return, the community and the graduates support them and endorse their
activities.
Dear alumni and friends
You form the more powerful bulk of the university community. You are the
ones whose duties are to look constantly for the success and prosperity
of the university.
Our aim is that this website will be a means of communication with you
regarding all scientific, cultural, professional, and social issues and
events. Most importantly, this website should give scope to all issues
related to the labor market whether in Lebanon or anywhere else in the
world. In short, we hope that this website be a meeting point for all
the university graduates, students, faculty, and employees.
I am addressing you from this platform in pride and determination,
holding a double responsibility: the responsibility of a person who had
the honor of being a student at this university, and the responsibility
of a person who has been entrusted with the task of leading the
university through an area of development and change.
It is essential that we constantly renew our pledge to work towards the
prosperity of Beirut Arab University. Let us join hands in order to
reach our goals and to help our university rise up to the challenges of
a fast-changing world, a highly demanding job market, and the
expectations of the scientific and academic community.
