In the Words of our President

To be sure, the many hardships, uncertainties and fears which befell Lebanon will put all our institutions to test, for many years to come. Excellence in education, which has characterized our country for many decades, might be severely periled. However, and against all odds, there is a remarkable energy, rooted in hope, that infuses the efforts of many in various universities and schools, and among educators.
