The impact on the present is determined by the nature of the academic programs, the trainings, the conferences, the publications, the certifications, the student activities, the building of a sense of community, the work ethic and knowledge of the faculty and the staff, the directives of the administration, and the way the overall peaceful and collegial atmosphere is shaped. The present position of the university is where higher values and goals meet the lives of the university community, including the neighbors, the participants in the academic programs and even the parents, friends and families of the students. The impact of the university on the future is more complex to understand but it is equally significant. As learning does not stop and university years are considered as mainly foundational, graduates of the university keep changing, and accumulating wisdom and expertise. However, it is a fact that the scripts of professional life are written mostly with the alphabet of the college degree and its academic substance. Haigazian University has strived, since 1955, to instill knowledge that is fortified with values of hard work, truthfulness, freedom of thought and genuine service. Student evaluations and testimonies show us that the message has been clearly received. The impact of the university has shaped lives and will do so in the future in the ones who have earned the diploma and the experience of an institution of higher learning called “Haigazian”. May our programs serve the best edifying purposes of the unfolding generations. Rev.

  • Hu Herald Done
    SPRING 2019 XXVIII THE HAIGAZIAN HERALD The Herald Timoteo Pereira Neves Most of you have heard or seen the Herald Magazine before. Most of you also probably have some doubts about what it represents; I did as well. This edition is set out to change that. The Herald is a student-led magazine made for the entertainment and information of the Haigazian community. This means that if you find these pages either boring or uninformative do report to any of the members in the club right away! Now, I’m delighted to present you our team: • Timoteo Pereira Neves, English Language, Junior (Chairperson) • Marwa Saad, English Language, Senior (Representative) • Sarah Mshaymesh, Biology, Sophomore (Secretary) • Jack Jizmejian, Political Science, Sophomore (Writer) • Vartineh Baghdo, Biology, Sophomore (Writer) • Armen Simonian, Political Science, Junior (Writer) • Duaa Nooreldidine, Social Work, Senior (Writer) • Mary Krikorian, Political Science, Sophomore (Writer) • Mohammad Ali Khadra, Business, Senior (Writer) • Yeprem Boinibomoushakian, Marketing, Senior (Designer) Without much further ado, enjoy these pages; read on! What Is the Baccalaureate ChaplainService?’ s Corner Graduating from university is a great achievement. It is a proud moment that you want to savor and celebrate. You get to be in the spotlight; you’re the star of the party. You also get to thank those who supported and resourced you throughout these years. Graduation time also helps you realize how special it is that you had the opportunity, the health and the clarity of mind to persevere and complete your studies. Never take this for granted! I hope that, when you step out of the university gates, diploma in hand, you will feel gratitude rushing from deep inside you, so that you can only think, whisper, whistle, or sing: “Thank God!” This is precisely the purpose of the annual baccalaureate service.

    If there is no justice for women, There is no justice for humankind. A PIONEER IN GENDER EQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS From its inception in 1924 as the first college for women in the region through its growth into a full-fledged university, the Lebanese American University has championed the empowerment of women and girls. In keeping with that legacy, LAU established the Institute for Women’s Studies in the Arab World (IWSAW) in 1973 to promote gender equality and human rights for women in Lebanon and the Arab world. The Institute focuses on advancing women’s empowerment and gender equality through research, education, development programs and outreach at the national, regional, and international levels. IWSAW also works within LAU to engage students, faculty and staff to integrate gender issues across all programs of study in order to build a knowledge base that promotes gender equality and human rights in the Arab world. IWSAW’s bi-annual journal, Al Raida, The Pioneer, is a space for researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and students to address gender equality and women’s issues in the Arab world. A Masters’ Program in Women and Gender Studies was launched in 2014 – the first of its kind in Lebanon. This interdisciplinary program focuses on both academic and practical applications of gender issues, with a view to filling an identified need in the job market. The Institute also undertakes development programs in collaboration with national and international organizations. The Basic Living Skills Program (BLSP) is one such example – designed to strengthen the capacities of Arab women and empower them in all aspects of their lives.
