Page ii UNIVERSITY OF BALAMAND STRATEGIC ACADEMIC PLAN May 28, 2004 1.0 INTRODUCTION Sasaki Associates completed the following strategic planning document for the University of Balamand in May, 2004, to accompany a physical master plan, also completed for the University by Sasaki Associates. The strategies recommended in this document grew out of extensive consultation with many constituencies within the University, but nevertheless represent the judgments of the consultants about appropriate policies and directions for the University. Successful implementation of strategies suggested in this document, or variations on those strategies, will depend on their confident adoption by members of the University community and its leadership. This will require a process that models the kind of engaged and participatory pedagogy that the strategic academic plan proposes. To encourage debate and further exploration of some of the issues touched on in the document, a supplementary section has been prepared referencing examples of current implementation, generally at colleges and universities in the United States, of many of the practices recommended. Some of the most important strategies outlined in the document depend in part on implementation of the physical master plan. Because implementation of the master plan is dependent on significant fundraising and will be phased in over an extended period, a summary list of issues that can be addressed immediately before the completion of building projects is outlined early in the document. Because the underlying intention of the planning process is to develop a fully integrated approach, some repetition or overlap of strategies occurs in the document. Sasaki Associates, Inc. Page 1 UNIVERSITY OF BALAMAND STRATEGIC ACADEMIC PLAN May 28, 2004 2.0 MISSION The following revised mission statement was prepared in draft for the University by Sasaki Associates.

    GENERAL SECTION General Information 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The Catalog is a guidepost to all those interested in learning about the University of Balamand. It is of particular importance to students who must familiarize themselves fully with its contents. While catalogs introduce students to the history as well as to the philosophy of the University, it remains essentially a set of rules. Rules are of value in themselves. They guide students, and faculty as well, to strictly comply with them to avoid error. I want to emphasize the priority of rules, particularly of the tendency in human nature to avoid them, to break them, or divert them from the public good, they are meant to uphold, to their private whims and needs. Rules teach us discipline, and they constitute the basic element in democracy. Rules equalize, and hence provide justice for all. In a university, rules provide the student with the objective facts they must work with to excel in their main purpose to enter a university. The purpose is to get a good education, to specialize in a field and become professionals in it, to develop the passion for reading, for publishing, for contributing to the public good. Consequently, I welcome all new students to our University, and look forward to interacting with them as much as possible. We are living in unusual times. We are living a trend of violence, chaos, and the permeating threat of extremism. It is our destiny to reverse it. Universities are founded on faith in the Divine, on dependence on reason, on the unity of the human family, and in the hope of an ideal civilization founded on truth, justice, equality, and freedom.

  • Public Transport Management System for Kousba—Chekka Roadway
    Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering 4 (2016) 312-319 doi: 10.17265/2328-2142/2016.06.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Case Study: Public Transport Management System for Kousba—Chekka Roadway Georges Najib1, Fawaz Samer2 and Karam George3 Civil Engineering Department, University of Balamand Kelhat, Koura, Lebanon Abstract: Two of the main reasons of traffic congestion in Lebanon are the high number of private vehicles and the absence of a decent public transportation system. While the problem regarding the unavailability of the public transportation system can be related to the government, the high number of private cars can be explained and tackled from different angles. This study aims to present a full bus system analysis and design as a solution for various problems regarding the transportation sector. Around 1,000 people completed a survey asking about the existing buses, and their willingness to use a decent bus system; results showed that 73% of the voters would take this advanced bus system. That means a reduction of 525 cars/hour after providing seven buses on the Kousba-Chekka roadway. This amount of cars replaced by buses also implied a decrease of noise pollution by 2 dB, and a significant decrease of accidents. It is concluded that a reliable bus system should be implemented. Key words: Public transport, bus system, Lebanon, traffic congestion. 1. Introduction 15 questions that help assess and estimate the ridership for a public transport system. Data was collected from As is the case in such situations, the land transport field visits to local private bus operators to better sector found itself greatly jeopardized by the 1975 understand the volume of public bus users and the way Lebanese Civil War.

  • Department of History Spring 2011
    Department of History Spring 2011 Alumni View: Teaching World Religion in the Middle East by Christine B. Lindner ‘02 Roughly 10 years after my parents escorted me down the winding path of Route 128, a taxi driver carefully maneuvered the dimly lit, cliff side track that brought me to the next phase of my life‟s adventure. The blue-gray of the North Shore Atlantic was re- placed by the turquoise of the eastern Mediterranean. In 2009 I commenced my academic career as Assistant Professor at the University of Balamand, in north Lebanon. Established by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch in 1988, during the height of the Lebanese Civil War, the university promotes itself as a secular institution, open to students and staff from different religious backgrounds. The university arose from the still active Dayr al-Balmand (the Balamand Our Lady of Balamand Monastery Monastery), founded by Cistercian monks in 1175, but was inherited by the Greek Orthodox Church in the fourteenth century. It is situated in the Koura region of Lebanon, famous for its olive groves, which serves as a retreat from the bustle of Lebanon‟s capital, Beirut, and nearby Tripoli. My position in affiliated with the Civilization Sequence Program, a grouping of core Humanities cours- es often found in Middle Eastern universities. One course explores Ancient Cultures: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Watching the winter storms over the Mediterranean, it is not too difficult to identify with Odysseus‟s troubles returning home after battling Troy. The Phoenician and Roman ruins in nearby Jbeil (Ancient Byblos) make perfect backdrops to reading Greek dramas.

  • PACKAGE 1 - KOURA CAZA Final October 2020
    REPUBLIC OF LEBANON COUNCIL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN LEBANON ROADS AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECT LOT 5 - PACKAGE 1 - KOURA CAZA Final October 2020 in association with EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Government of Lebanon (GOL) has solicited and obtained World Bank (WB) financing for the Roads and Employment Project (REP). The Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) is acting as the executing agency on behalf of the GOL and its Council of Ministers (COM). The REP involves rehabilitation activities that are confined within the alignments of existing roads with no road widening, no involuntary resettlement, and no land acquisition. As such, the WB classified the REP as a category B project that require the preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for its sub-components. Accordingly, a series of ESMPs were stipulated to be prepared for these roads and put together by CDR in packages for bidding purposes. In this context, CDR awarded the contract number 20379 to TEAM International, hereinafter referred to as the Consultant, to prepare the assessment, design and ESMPs for roads in the districts of Batroun, Bcharre, Koura, Tripoli, Baalbeck, and Hermel. This ESMP is concerned with roads within the Koura district. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The REP consists of the rehabilitation, maintenance, and minor construction. Activities to be performed during the project vary between one road and the other, depending on the road rating in terms of the condition of the pavement, shoulders, potential flooding and drainage, potential landslide/soil erosion and retaining walls, and/or pedestrian walkways, and maintenance of street lights when applicable.

It is just like climbing the highest peak of a mountain step by step accompanied by its bitterness, hardship and encouragement of so many people around me. When I found myself at the end of the journey, I realized that this long path toward my professional development objective would not have been possible without the support of all those people who supported me. My outmost gratitude goes to my honorable director, Professor Erick Carlier, whose support; advice and guidance were the main drivers toward the right directions. No doubt, learning from such a professional reference has influenced my learning experience and without his sustenance this thesis would not have been possible. My sincere gratitude goes as well to my co-director and trustworthy director, Professor Najib Georges, whose encouragement, guidance and support have enabled me to develop and accomplish my thesis.

  • Amioun On-Line Gis Services: Success Achieved Through Partnership
    AMIOUN ON-LINE GIS SERVICES: SUCCESS ACHIEVED THROUGH PARTNERSHIP Oussama C. Jadayel1, Nada Khorchid2, Fares Nassif3 and Rita Ibrahim4 ABSTRACT The importance of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technologies cannot be over- emphasized in modern-day, post-war Lebanon. However, implementation of these novel and very powerful tools within the country civil service has been rather slow. As a result, the Lebanese public sector has not been able to harness this technology and reap its benefits. The reasons behind this set-back have been many and diversified. To begin with, initial investments in GI-systems are relatively high. There is also the pre-requisite of adequately trained and skilled staff who must be conversant with such systems. These hurdles have been very frustrating to systems suppliers, developers, and academics who collectively are highly skilled and keen to see such novel applications penetrate the market. Engineering departments have been particularly affected since this has prevented them from advancing their GIS teaching or research programs and directing their graduates to the local job markets. To break the dead-lock, a unique model has been pioneered by three partners: University of Balamand Engineering Faculty, ArabiaGIS and Amioun Municipality. The latter two represent the private industrial and public sectors respectively. The three parties joined forces in order to put in place a fully functional web-based system offering electronic local authority services to the public. These services ranged from tax payments to tourist information to property and business advertising to utility networks as well as many more. In realizing the pilot system, each party has contributed its know-how, its contacts and its full potential.
