Dear Editor, I just received issue No. 1, Volume 10, Summer 2008 of LAU Magazine. I cannot help but state my admiration for the very high standard of professionalism which you and your staff have applied to this issue. The articles, superb layout, extensive coverage and printing quality made it stand out as a shining reflection of LAU. Please accept my heartiest congratulations to you and to all those who contributed in producing this remarkable issue. Bravo and keep up the good work. Warm regards,

Thank you for sending me the Summer ‘08 edition of LAU Magazine. I found it very interesting and refreshing, with so many youth activities mentioned, as well as the inclusion of success stories from all over the world. Hope to see you in Mexico soon. 7b_d[ Oekd[i <_hij I[Yh[jWho#9edikb ;cXWiio e\ B[XWded C[n_Ye 9_jo

Dear Editor, I received the latest issue of LAU Magazine and read it with great interest. I appreciate that you are including many profiles about current writers and thinkers. It is also evident that cultural and literary movements are quite alive in Lebanon. You mentioned an event honoring Khalil Gibran, whose writings I greatly admire. However more is needed! LAU ought to reach out to other Arab countries and their thinkers and writers; there are so many who have enriched the Arabic literary legacies. Hundreds of Arab writers, thinkers, translators, historians, travelogue writers and poets could be involved. The current and future generations in the Arab world need to be enlightened about the literary pillars who have shaped the world we live in. They need to learn about these literary accomplishments; I urge you to encourage your students to read and respect the exceptional literary works left by their ancestors. I was pleased to read about the Lebanese novelist Emily Nasrallah in the recent edition of LAU Magazine, and hope to read more about other Arab writers and their works in future issues. Wishing you all the best and further success with all future LAU projects. With best regards,

H_cW 7$ Cd[_cd[^

Dear Editor, That we stress excellence so much in this university is clear, and the first thing that I truly rate as excellent is LAU Magazine. May God give you the strength to pursue what you are doing! Keep up the great work!!!

<hec j^[ Fh[i_Z[djÊi :[ia Dear Colleagues, Four years ago, we began a strategic planning process together. Students, faculty, alumni and friends of LAU joined hearts and minds to set a new strategic direction for our university. The process invigorated both campuses and set a series of striking and powerful actions in motion that led to what the New England Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation team called “dramatic and far-reaching institutional change.” The strategic initiatives arising from this process include the promotion of excellence in all our endeavors. Beneath all of these plans, hopes and dreams lies a simple idea: The peace for which all people yearn, and the progress for which all people hope, can best be achieved through education. In fulfilling our mission of excellence at LAU, we seek the development of leaders who will bring peace, justice and democracy to the Middle East and beyond. Yes, we are aiming high. We are striving to meet our vast potential in all these areas and more. With your support, the LAU Campaign for Excellence will help us achieve our goals. This campaign stretches far beyond our Beirut and Byblos campuses. In this issue of the magazine, you will read about living examples of the ways in which LAU is helping to change Lebanon, the region and the world.

While the specific goals of the Campaign for Excellence can be found on page 20, the Campaign’s comprehensive goals are visible throughout this entire issue of LAU Magazine, in the profiles of students, faculty, alumni and friends rising to the challenges set before us. I truly hope that you will find the journey as thrilling and meaningful as I do. And I thank you for all your support in helping us make LAU a world-class institution. Thank you.

The centerpiece of this issue is a pullout photo essay, “Then and Now: the Legacy and the Promise.” These pages offer an articulate depiction of where LAU has come from and where we seek to go. It is a testament to the courage of all those associated with the university both past and present, and a reminder of the high bar set before us as we seek to fulfill the promise of the LAU legacy.

Our cover story on Gilbert Chagoury is a portrait of a man of exceptional generosity, and also of great faith, vision and heart. Here the founding donor of the LAU Gilbert and Rose-Marie School of Medicine reveals his passion for what will be the most philosophically and technologically advanced school of medicine in the region. The accompanying coverage of the beautiful and inspiring July 15 groundbreaking ceremony follows a cogent discussion with Dr. Kamal Badr, Founding Dean of the school, and new faculty member Mona Haidar on the broader aspects of social medicine and its potential impact on the Middle East. An alumni profile of the filmmaker Lara Abou Saifan (’98) provides a glimpse into the world of film and television production—including a documentary series called “On the Road” about four Arabs who travel through the United States together—demonstrating how LAU’s communications arts program can impact perceptions and thinking half a world away.

The vision of Dr. Kamal Badr, founding dean of the Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine at LAU, is to educate the “new physician.” The science and the art of medicine will merge in the school’s social medicine curriculum to create a physician who treats patients with cutting-edge science as well as compassion, a physician who understands the human condition and the individual as part of a larger community.

The Campaign for Excellence comprises three major goals: student support, academic support, and facilities development. STUDEnT SUPPoRT: $5 MiLLion

In June, LAU proudly graduated more than 1,300 students despite considerable upheaval in the region during the course of the spring semester. We are committed to graduating more students each year for the duration of the campaign. To make that possible, we will require generous gifts in support of financial aid, merit scholarships, and student enrichment.

ACADEMiC SUPPoRT: $15 MiLLion

LAUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campaign for Excellence will support the recruitment and retention of accomplished faculty, encourage their professional development and increase the number of named academic chairs. The number of full-time faculty members at LAU has doubled since 1992. But to reach our goals we must continue this trend. Through gifts for academic support, we can ensure that LAU will be able to attract and retain first-rate teachers and researchers.

FACiLiTiES DEVELoPMEnT: $20 MiLLion

The Campaign for Excellence will support major capital investments on both the Beirut and Byblos campuses, including campus expansion and the continuing upgrade of technologically advanced smart classrooms. Investments on the Byblos campus include the Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury Medical School, the Alice Ramez Chagoury School of Nursing, a new library and the Frem Civic Center. Investments on the Beirut campus will include enhancements to the Business School, smart classrooms and hands-on labs, a new residence hall and student center and renovations to Sage Hall.

FROM WHENCE WE COME Today, LAU sprawls across two campuses: one a green oasis in the heart of Beirut, and the other nestled into the hills overlooking Byblos. But what was to become one of Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier universities began in 1835 as the American School for Girls, founded by the wives of American Presbyterian missionaries who were moved to action by the lack of available education for girls in the region. CHANGING TIMES, CHANGING NAMES In 1924 the school became the American Junior College for Women, with a founding class of eight. The cornerstone of LAUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest building, Sage Hall, was laid in 1933, whereafter the college was moved to its present location. In 1948-49, the name of the college was changed to the Beirut College for Women (BCW); upon becoming fully co-educational in 1973, the name was changed again, to Beirut University College (BUC).

IN UNCERTAIN TIMES, A HAVEN FOR EDUCATION Matriculation at BUC steadily increased until the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), when attendance dwindled. Before the present-day Byblos campus began operation in 1991, a few campuses were operated north and south of Beirut in order to facilitate access.

LAU THEN AND NOW BUC officially became a university in 1992, and was renamed the Lebanese American University two years later. The university has evolved into a private, nonsectarian institution comprised of five schools: the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, the School of Pharmacy, the School of Engineering and Architecture and the School of Medicine. LAU is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. In 2005, LAU embarked on a five-year strategic plan encompassing academic excellence, enrollment management, information technology, public relations and marketing, fund raising development and finance and administration. By 2007, the university had become a candidate for accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Approval is expected in 2009. LAU continues to grow with the educational needs of the region. Today the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two campuses are home to approximately 6,800 undergraduate and graduate students, who are working toward a wide range of academic and professional degrees in a liberal arts curriculum that reflects both LAUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage and its future. The university seeks to prepare students to make a significant contribution to the global workforce, and to live and lead responsibly within the diverse needs of their communities.

Throughout its eventful life, the school has successfully balanced tradition and innovation, embracing change while also cultivating a deep awareness of history.

This is the legacy and the promise of the Lebanese American University.

LIBERAL ARTS FOUNDATION As a liberal arts college, the Beirut College for Women offered majors in philosophy, education, child psychology and home economics. The School of Arts and Sciences became its own entity when new schools were created to accomodate more specialized majors in the 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Women at BCW were required to take introductory courses such as nutrition, comparative religion, math and music. Such courses were designed to form students into well-rounded individuals. In some ways, that philosophy hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed. Today, LAU honors its heritage by seeking to educate the whole person. The university is now a mixture of students from various majors; its ethos and courses emphasize diversity, and strengthen critical thinking and oral and written communication.

THE ARTS IN ARTS AND SCIENCES LAU’s emphasis on hands-on learning is reflected in the school’s facilities for the arts, such as the graphic design labs, TV/Film studios, photography labs and theatres. Students direct and perform their own plays and exhibit their work regularly, both on and off campus. Communication arts enrollment, especially concentrations in journalism, TV/film and graphic design, has been on the rise in recent years. The school offers more than 30 degrees in six major departments, as well as enrichment programs and activities, such as the Harvard World Model United Nations, the International Theatre Festival, major play productions, TV public screenings and a student-run newspaper, The Daily Tribune. The school also offers three master’s degrees in the arts, in Comparative Literature, Education, and International Affairs.

SCIENCE ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY LAUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive, graduate and undergraduate science programs span four schools. The School of Arts and Sciences supports its students with a rich array of labs in the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science. LAU is especially proud of the Genomics & Proteomics Research Lab, established in 2005. The $2 million lab is equipped with state-of-theart technology. The School of Pharmacy includes the CVS Lab. Engineering students work in 24 specialized labs of their own. The School of Arts and Sciences offers masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees in both Computer Science and Molecular Biology.

ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE In 1978, aspiring engineers at BUC had the option of taking their university requirements in Lebanon, and then travelling to one of 16 collaborating universities in the U.S. and Canada to complete their studies as part of a dual degree program. In 1995, the School of Engineering and Architecture unified existing divisions. Originally offering civil, computer and electrical engineeringâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as industrial engineering, which is unique to Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the school has grown to include mechanical engineering and three graduate programs. The graduate and undergraduate programs train students for careers in design, development, research, project supervision and management. Upcoming initiatives include minors in biomedical and petroleum engineering. From the beginning, engineering programs were designed in accordance with the standards of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the U.S. The programs are now on a course for ABET accreditation. The 952 students enrolled in the school benefit from small class sizes, and acquire hands-on individual and collective lab experiences crucial to such practical majors. The Beirut College for Women offered courses in interior decorating to prepare women to keep attractive homes. The Department of Architecture now offers degrees in interior design, interior architecture and architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as a minor in Islamic art and architecture. Its program is accredited by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, and the department participates in exchange programs with multiple universities in Europe. Many students exhibit their work on and off campus, and present award-winning designs. A School of Architecture and Design is planned for 2010.

PHARMACY AND MEDICINE PHARMACY In the early ‘90s, a pre-pharmacy degree allowed students to commence general studies at LAU before completing their degrees at collaborating U.S. universities. The School of Pharmacy was established on the Byblos campus in 1993, becoming the sole English pharmacy program in Lebanon. The only full member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) outside the U.S., the school offers a B.S. in Pharmacy and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. The school’s doctoral program is the only one outside the U.S. accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). Graduates are able to take the North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and therefore become qualified to work in the U.S. LAU students have a passing rate of 100 percent on the NAPLEX, and have consistently and significantly outperformed their counterparts in the U.S. The school’s synthesis of lectures, lab studies, clinical work and patient-centered pharmacy practice provides contemporary, American-style education that meets the unique needs of Lebanon. Throughout its brief but impressive history, the school has also been involved in projects that provide healthcare to underprivileged communities in Lebanon.

MEDICINE The Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine will welcome its first class in 2009, and will be housed in a new facility with state-of-theart technology for research as well as teaching. The medical school will endeavor to graduate physicians trained in 21st century medicine who bring a working knowledge of family and social medicine to their practices, and seek to treat the whole patient rather than just the disease. In 2010, the first class of students will be admitted into the Alice Ramez Chagoury School of Nursing.

BUSINESS At the Beirut College for Women, home economics was a popular track. As times changed, women began to seek majors that would help them find employment. Men were also admitted to the school. More practical and market-oriented majors, such as business, were soon in demand. Cooking classes still take place today at LAU—but in a new lab, as part of the hospitality management major. In the late ‘70s, business students at BUC earned a general B.S. degree. Today, more than 3,000 students are enrolled in three undergraduate programs with various concentrations. In addition to the EMBA program, LAU’s MBA program—initiated in 1981 as the first master’s program at the school—is now the largest of its kind in the Middle East. Officially begun in 1996, the School of Business operates on both campuses and enjoys a prominent reputation in Lebanon. The school maintains four institutes for professional research, and has founded an internationally refereed journal. It provides theoretical, methodological and practical skills to track with the latest developments in business. The school provides modern technology and facilities, including a stock market room. Students of the business school undergo a multi-layered education which includes case and laboratory analyses and hands-on training.

SMART CLASSROOMS When the American School for Girls opened in 1835, its students and teachers were equipped with chalkboards, desks, paper, pens, and books. Today’s schools offer computer labs, science labs, studios, theaters, workshops and a myriad of integrated technology. LAU provides 196 advanced learning spaces. Among these are LAU’s “smart” classrooms. By the spring of 2009, LAU will have 29 such classrooms, with another 23 to follow in 2010. Smart classrooms made their debut at LAU in 2004, when 27 multimedia projectors and state-of-the-art screens were installed in the Riyad Nassar Library and Business Building. But the new smart classrooms are more sophisticated. Level 1 classrooms provide instructional tools such as a multimedia LCD data projector. Level 2 classrooms add a document camera and sound system. Lecture halls include all of the above, as well as LCD multimedia projectors, wireless microphones and video conferencing capabilities. At the “smartest” level are the computer labs, which include 20 to 50 work stations. In addition to the technology provided in the lecture halls, these rooms will soon feature a computer at each seat, a dedicated server, special software and UPS and network distribution.

LIBRARY LAU has come a long way from the one-room library at the American Junior College for Women. Today the Riyad Nassar Library and the Byblos Library house more than 350,000 volumes, almost 2,500 periodicals, and 80 databases, as well as other electronic resources. In addition to the technological services available at both libraries, the Riyad Nassar Library houses a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library, established in 1967 as the first of its kind in Lebanon. The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library keeps 11,300 volumes in English, Arabic and French. The libraries also house specific collections on women (especially Arab women), Islamic art and architecture and practice-teaching materials for Education students.

INSTITUTE FOR WOMEN’S STUDIES IN THE ARAB WORLD LAU has a long tradition of working towards gender equality. Although a diploma from the Beirut College for Women may have been considered a privilege of the elite, the education of women at that time prompted a regional change in society and in the lives of other women. In 1973, President William Schechter wanted to continue the tradition of women’s education, despite the decision to go co-ed that year. He founded the Institute for Women’s Studies in the Arab World (IWSAW) with an $80,000 grant from the Ford Foundation and the support of Dr. Riyad Nassar. Dr. Julinda Abu Nasr was appointed as the institute’s first director. Today, IWSAW continues to change women’s lives. The institute produces its own publications in English and Arabic, including Al-Raida, a quarterly journal produced since 1976. Al-Raida promotes research on women’s issues, and highlights the dissemination of current information regarding the condition of women in the Arab world. IWSAW seeks to integrate undergraduate and graduate courses on women’s studies into the LAU curriculum, and hosts conferences and workshops regularly. IWSAW offers a Basic Living Skills Program that educates women in a variety of areas including health, nutrition and legal rights, and provides marketable job skills. IWSAW also developed a literacy program, Empowering Arab Women through Literacy, that enables illiterate women to learn how to read and write. Since 1998, the institute has been involved in rehabilitationin vocational training projects for women in Lebanese prisons (most recently in Baabda and Tripoli.) Last year, one such project offered psychological counseling for inmates; this year’s project consists of enlisting human rights advocates in order to improve the legal status of eligible inmates. IWSAW, like LAU, continues to serve the needs of society by enlightening and empowering women who can go on to make positive changes in their own communities.
