Khuri has laid out an inspiring—and bold—vision to make AUB “a globally unique institution of higher education whose community of scholars and practitioners embody integral service, teaching, and research, all of whom are dedicated to improving the human condition.” His vision is of a university that is defined by its liberal arts ethos in education, excellence in research, compassionate medical care, and an abiding commitment to Lebanon and the Arab world. Students are at the heart of Vision 2030. AUB is strengthening its undergraduate education curriculum and student support services, putting even more emphasis on the liberal arts, and introducing a completely new general education program emphasizing the humanities, technology, and service. The university is also investing in its campus facilities so that faculty and students have the tools and resources they need for innovative research. In addition to renovating some of the legacy buildings on upper campus, AUB is also planning to build new, state-of the-art facilities. AUB has launched BOLDLY AUB: The Campaign to Lead, Innovate, and Serve, a five-year $650 million fundraising campaign, to support Vision 2030 and to secure the resources we need to continue to Lead, Innovate, and Serve the peoples of the Middle East and beyond for generations to come. 10 The 150th Commencement Exercises for the Awarding of Degrees رؤية جريئة للجامعة األميركية في بيروت: رؤية 2030 لقد وضع الرئيس فضلو خوري رؤية ملهمة وجريئة لجعل الجامعة اﻷميركية في بيروت "مؤسسة عالمية فريدة من نوعها للتعليم العالي، ّوتجسد ُأسرتها من العلماء والمعالجين الخدمة المتكاملة، والتعليم، والبحوث، وكلها ّموجهة لتحسين حالة البشر". إن رؤيته هذه هي لجامعة ّتؤطرها روحيتها الليبرالية في التعليم، ّوالممتازية في اﻷبحاث والرعاية الطبية الرؤوفة، واﻻلتزام الثابت بلبنان والعالم العربي. إن الطﻻب هم في صميم رؤية ٢٠٣٠. والجامعة اﻷميركية في بيروت ّتعزز مناهجها للتعليم الجامعي وخدماتها الداعمة للطﻻب، ّوتركز أكثر على التعليم الليبرالي، ُوتباشر تطبيق برنامج ٍتعليم ٍعام ٍجديد ًتماما ّيركز على اﻹنسانيات، والتكنولوجيا، والخدمات. الجامعة تستثمر ًأيضا في مرافق الحرم الجامعي حيث ّسيتوفر ﻷعضاء الهيئة التعليمية والطﻻب اﻷدوات والموارد التي يحتاجون إليها للبحوث المبتكرة. وباﻹضافة إلى ترميم بعض المباني التراثية في الحرم الجامعي العلوي، ُتزمع الجامعة اﻷميركية في بيروت ًأيضا بناء مرافق جديدة فائقة ّالتطور. وقد أطلقت الجامعة اﻷميركية في بيروت حملة BOLDLY AUB وهي حملة للقيادة، واﻻبتكار، والخدمة، تترامى على خمس سنوات، لجمع أكثر من 65٠ مليون دوﻻر من ّالتبرعات لدعم رؤية ٢٠٣٠ ولتأمين الموارد الﻻزمة لﻹستمرار في القيادة، واﻻبتكار، وفي خدمة شعوب الشرق اﻷوسط وما ورائه لﻷجيال القادمة.

  • The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948
    The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948 Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Ilan Troen, Graduate Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Scott Abramson February 2012 Acknowledgements I cannot omit the expression of my deepest gratitude to my defense committee, the formidable triumvirate of Professors Troen, Makiya, and Salameh. To register my admiration for these scholars would be to court extravagance (and deplete a printer cartridge), so I shall have to limit myself to this brief tribute of heartfelt thanks. ii ABSTRACT The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948 A thesis presented to the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Scott Abramson Much of the historiography on the intercourse between Palestinian Jews and Lebanese Maronites concerns only the two peoples’ relations in the seventies and eighties. This thesis, in contrast, attempts a departure from this scholarship, joining the handful of other works that chart the history of the Zionist-Maronite relationship in its earliest incarnation. From its inception to its abeyance beginning in 1948, this almost thirty-year relationship was marked by a search of a formal alliance. This thesis, by presenting a panoptical survey of early Zionist-Maronite relations, explores the many dimensions of this pursuit. It details the Zionists and Maronites’ numerous commonalities that made an alliance desirable and apparently possible; it profiles the specific elements among the Zionists and Maronites who sought an entente; it examines each of the measures the two peoples took to this end; and it analyzes why this protracted pursuit ultimately failed.

  • It Would Surely Be the Second: Lebanon, Israel And
    IT WOULD SURELY BE THE SECOND: LEBANON, ISRAEL, AND THE ARAB-ISRAELI WAR OF 1967 By Sean Foley1* This essay will discuss how three factors shattered this seemingly permanent settlement. First, the military balance following the Six-Day War ended the role of Syria and Egypt as bases for attacks on Israel and, eventually, the intention that these states would deliver a victory over Israel for the Palestinians. Second, Israel's total victory over Arab armies empowered the Palestinians to take direct command of their struggle to eradicate Israel, and to use Lebanon, which already housed 110,000 Palestinian refugees from the Galilee, as a base for direct attack of Israeli territory. Third, the Palestinians' use of Lebanese territory to attack Israel, combined with Israel's retalia- tion, strained Lebanon's already fragile political institutions to the point of collapse and postponed any hope of a peace treaty between Israel and Lebanon for years.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES PROGRAM TO THEM WE ARE ALL ANTS: LEBANON- FROM INDEPENDENCE TO UNCERTAINTY MOHAMED SALIM RAOUDA BALAH Spring 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in History and International Politics with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. Arthur Goldschmidt Professor Emeritus of Middle East History Thesis Supervisor Dr. Catherine Wanner Associate Professor of History, Anthropology and Religious Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT The evolution of the Lebanese state is marred by the sectarian order established by the National Pact at the time of Lebanese independence in 1943. As of 2011 the current political crisis in Lebanon has polarized the Sunni community supporting the March 14 party and the Shi’a population supporting the March 8 party. Many of their issues have been dragged across history with no clear, long term, solution to address them. As a result, these problems have culminated in today’s political crisis, adding a new dynamic with the emergence of Hizbullah as a major player in the Middle East. This thesis examines the historical roots of Lebanese independence as a tool for understanding the circumstances allowing Hizbullah to gain prominence. Then it aims to analyze recent historical events between the end of the civil war and the present day to draw conclusions about the current state of affairs. Through this historical and political analysis, I will show the reader that over the period of Lebanese history, the opportunity to reform the country and remove foreign influence has been thwarted by the sectarian divisions.
