III. Detailed Progress: A. Advising and Registration: Between October 2015 and December 2015, all the 91 scholars were registered for Fall 2015 with full time loads. 91 scholars had pre-registered for Spring 2016. Between January 2016 and March 2016, 91 USP III scholars were registered for spring 2016 with full time loads. Between April 2016 and June 2016, 33 USP III scholars registered for Summer 2016 with full time loads, 59 USP III scholars pre-registered for Fall 2016 with full time loads, 30 scholars (USP III) graduated in Spring 2016, and 2 scholars (USP III) were dismissed. Between July 2016 and September 2016, the remaining 59 USP III scholars (49 USP III, 8 USP III new, 2 USP III newest) registered for Fall 2016 with full time loads. The scholars have been in regular contact with their academic coordinators and have been receiving proper advice and direction. B. Monitoring of Scholars: a. OCE: The Outreach and Civic Engagement at the Lebanese American University, headed by the Assistant Vice President who oversees the execution of the program and ensures successful implementation, supervises orientation, enrichment activities, and media coverage, and works closely with academic coordinators on USP curricular progress. b. Student mentors: Each scholar has been assigned a student mentor whose main job is to make sure that the scholar is doing well scholastically and that he/she is not facing any problem. The student mentor is a junior or senior student of the same major who has demonstrated leadership skills. He/she helps the scholar in issues related to his/her every day life: dorms and adjustment on campus. (Refer to Appendix 2). c. Academic Coordinators: All scholars have an academic coordinator whose role is to advise scholars on what courses to register. (Refer to Appendix 1). The academic coordinator is mainly responsible for: Advising students before registration on the course load to carry each semester; Advising students in their courses and class work; Monitoring the academic progress of students; Helping the students to cope with academic challenges. d. Student support/tutoring: Whenever deemed necessary, USP scholars receive support and tutoring from LAU student support centers such as the Cooperative Learning Center, the Writing Center, and the Academic Computer Center in addition to the counselors and professional career and academic advising coordinators in the Deans of Students’ Offices in both Byblos and Beirut. e. Academic Progress: During the October 2015 - December 2015 period, academic coordinators sent three progress reports for Fall 2015 semester. The reports were studied and, when needed, proper advisory action was taken. The reports demonstrated that the USP III scholars are performing well and progressing normally. It is important to note that the 91 students enrolled in regular classes, and as of the end of Fall 2015 semester: 1 scholar has a major GPA of 4.0 57 scholars have a major GPA between 3.0 and 3.99 32 scholars have a major GPA between 2.0 and 2.99 1 scholar has no major GPA. 11 scholars have no major GPA 61 scholars (67%) have a cumulative

  • Alfred Basbous
    ALFRED BASBOUS Alfred Basbous was born in Rachana, Lebanon in 1924. His first exhibition in Beirut, at the Alecco Saab gallery in 1958, marked the beginning of a long and successful career as a sculptor. In 1960, he received a scholarship from the French government and became a pupil of the sculptor René Collamarini at ‘The National Fine Arts School in Paris’ (L’Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris). In 1961, his works were included in the International Sculpture Exhibition at the Musée Rodin, in Paris. From 1994 to 2004, Basbous organized the International Symposium of Sculpture in Rachana, Lebanon, where famous sculptors from around the world were invited to create, sculpt and exhibit their works alongside his own. Throughout his life, Basbous won many awards including the “Prix de l’Orient” in Beirut in 1963 and the price of Biennale in Alexandria in 1974. When he died in 2006, the President of the Lebanese Republic, in order to honor him, awarded him the “Medal of the Lebanese Order of Merit in Gold.” Basbous’s works express a lifelong exploration of the human form and its abstract properties. Focused on the aesthetic principles of shape, movement, line and material, his sculptures display a deeply ingrained sincerity and a search for the essence of beauty. Working in the tradition of sculptors such as Jean Arp, Constantin Brâncuși and Henry Moore, Alfred Basbous explores the potential of noble materials such as bronze, wood and marble to express the sensuality and purity of the human form. This aversion towards frivolous and meaningless embellishments echoes his own philosophy of simplicity and earnestness.

  • Information Note
    6th Mediterranean Forest Week and 23 rd session of Silva Mediterranea 1-5 April 2019, Brummana, Lebanon Information Note I. BAKGROUND The Mediterranean Forest Week (MFW) brings together a diverse set of actors to participate in one of the most vital fora on Mediterranean forests today. The biennial event facilitates cooperation amongst the research community, policy-makers and other relevant stakeholders by providing a common regional platform for dialogue. The event also promotes the relevance of Mediterranean forests globally and calls attention to the specific challenges these forests face. Participants include forest administrators, the scientific and academic community, the private sector, donors, civil society, environmental agencies and nongovernmental organizations. The last MFW in March 2017 in Agadir, Morocco, brought together more than 280 participants on the topic of forest and landscape restoration in the Mediterranean. After the MFW of 2010 in Antalya, 2011 in Avignon, 2013 in Tlemcen, 2015 in Barcelona and 2017 in Agadir, the 6th MFW will be hosted by Lebanon on 1-5 April 2019. The 6th MFW will focus on the role of Mediterranean forests in the Paris Agreement, addressing challenges and opportunities. The main objective of the 6th MFW will be to show how Mediterranean forests are important to address climate change and implement the Paris Agreement. The specific objectives of the 6th MFW are the following: 1. How Mediterranean forests contribute to global commitments related to climate change? 2. How important Mediterranean forests are for adaptation of people to climate change? 3. How important Mediterranean forests are for the adaptation of water, agriculture, cities and other sectors to climate change? 4.

  • Fallow Fields, Famine and the Making of Lebanon
    FALLOW FIELDS FAMINE AND THE MAKING OF LEBANON A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Graham A. Pitts, M.A. Washington, DC June 3, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Graham A. Pitts All Rights Reserved ii FALLOW FIELDS: FAMINE AND THE MAKING OF LEBANON Graham A. Pitts, M.A. Thesis Advisor: John R. McNeill, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation narrates Lebanon’s environmental history through the lens of the country’s World War I famine. My analysis uses the catastrophe as a prism through which to reconstruct Lebanese agrarian life. Between 1887 and 1914, as many as 150,000 Lebanese migrated to the Americas. On the war’s eve, remittances from abroad formed the largest source of income for the Lebanese, followed by the export of silk. Wartime conditions made both sources of income all but impossible to obtain and the ensuing famine exposed the vulnerabilities of Lebanon’s reliance on global flows of humans and capital. One in three Lebanese perished during the war. Years of demographic instability became a crisis of excess mortality once the war denied the population access to its livelihood and the safety valve of migration. By taking the human relationship with the rest of nature as its unit of analysis, my study posits broad continuities between the late Ottoman period and the French Mandate era whereas most studies have seen World War I, and the subsequent imposition of French colonialism, as a decisive rupture.
