Funding: The amount of the award is $9,544,647 and LAU cost sharing amount is $4,772,576 3. Objectives: LAU to enroll as of Fall 2013 & Fall 2018, 85 & 21 respectively financially needy and academically qualified Lebanese public high school students across Lebanon respecting the following: a. Gender diversity b. Obtained a minimum of 12/20 on the Lebanese Baccalaureate official exam. c. Met LAU admission requirements d. Vetted as per USAID requirements 4. Key Achievements: Between October 2018 and December 2018: At the end of Fall 2018: o 3 scholars (14.2%) were on the High Distinguished list (cumulative GPA 3.8 or above) o 4 scholars (19.0%) were on the Distinguished list (cumulative GPA between 3.5 and 3.79) o 3 scholars (14.2%) were on the Honors list (cumulative GPA between 3.20 and 3.49) o There were no scholars on probation. 4 III. Detailed Progress: A. Advising and Registration: Between October 2018 and December 2018, 21 USP III scholars registered for Fall 2018 with full time loads, and 21 USP III scholars pre-registered for Spring 2019 with full time loads. Between January 2018 and March 2018, 21 USP III scholars registered for Spring 2019 with full time loads. Appendix 1 details the registration loads of the scholars as they stand currently. The scholars have been in regular contact with their academic coordinators and have been receiving proper advice and direction. B. Monitoring of Scholars: A plan has been devised for the monitoring of scholars in order to ensure that they will maintain good academic standing and graduate on time. This plan is made up of multiple stakeholders who are working with the scholars in order to ensure their well being: a. OCE The Outreach and Civic Engagement at the Lebanese American University oversees the execution of the program and ensures successful implementation, supervises orientation, enrichment activities, and media coverage, and works closely with the 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. c. Academic Coordinators All scholars have academic coordinators. Each 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. 5 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 In December 2018, Fall semester came to an end, and by then the instructors had sent three progress reports for Fall 2018. The reports were studied and, when needed, proper advisory action was taken. The reports demonstrated that all USP III scholars are performing well and progressing normally. Out of 21 USP III scholars: 9 scholars are expected to graduate in Spring 2021, 3 scholars are expected to graduate in Fall 2021, 9 scholars are expected to graduate in Spring 2022. It is important to note that out of 21 students enrolled in regular classes, and as of the end of Fall 2018 semester: 17 scholars (80.9%) have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above 3 scholars have a cumulative GPA between 2.0 and 2.99 13 scholars (61.9%) have a major GPA of 3.0 or above 1 scholars have a major GPA between 2.0 and 2.99 1 scholar has a cumulative GPA below 2.0 7 scholars have no major GPA Moreover, it is important to note that no one has a Major GPA below 2.0 & 1 scholar has a cumulative GPA below 2.0 6 End of Fall 2018 USP III Cum GPA Major GPA Number of Number of GPA Range Percentage Percentage Students Students 4.0 3 14.2% 6 28.5% 3.5-3.99 6 28.5% 2 9.5% 3.2-3.49 3 14.2% 3 14.2% 3.0-3.19 5 23.8% 2 9.5% 2.5-2.99 1 4.7% 0 0.0% 2.0-2.49 2 9.5% 1 4.7% 0.0-1.99 1 4.7% 0 0.0% No GPA 0 7 Dropped out 0 0 Number of Students 21

  • Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon
    LEBANESE TRANSPARENCY ASSOCI A TION Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon The Lebanese Transparency Association P.O. Box 05-005, Baabda , Lebanon Tel/Fax: 169-9-510590; 169-9515501 [email protected] www.transparency-lebanon.org The Lebanese Transparency Association PO Box 05 005 Baabda, Lebanon Telephone +169 9 510590 • Fax +169 9 515501 www.transparency-lebanon.org LEBANESE TRANSPARENCY ASSOCIATION Introduction Corporate social responsibility (CSR) at its best practice can be defined as the overall management process that accompanies all the efforts of an organization within the limits of a certain ethical conduct. CSR starts internally within the organization as a set of beliefs and values of all the human resource. In such a case the organization will naturally communicate those ethical values through: 1. Personal interaction level (Meetings, promotions, events, media gatherings) 2. Corporate communications (press releases, webpage, print communications, product labels, advertising campaigns, brand building strategies, corporate logo) In effect and as illustrated in Fig 1, these communicated beliefs will result in added trust towards the organizations’ overall image and will potentially increase business and sustain development in the long run. In the ideal case, CSR is conducted as part of and adapted to the business strategy and vision, which is normally defined by the top management. According to the St. Galler Management Concept (University of St. Gallen, Bleicher 1991), these principles should be realized by the strategical and operational management levels. The whole strategy is therefore conducted by the whole company and becomes a part of the company’s identity. To act socially responsible and to integrate CSR in a businesses’ strategy has eventually the aim of increasing sales revenues and achieving profits, as opposed to purely philanthropic actions.

  • Geo-Visualization Tools for Participatory Urban Planning the Case of Tripoli, Lebanon
    KARTOGRAPHISCHE BAUSTEINE BAND 35 DRESDEN 2007 Remarks on the cover The cover illustration combines two different types of imagery. The first one forms the background: it is a geocoded mosaic of three QuickBird scenes of Tripoli acquired on 26 January 2003, 8 April 2003 and 2 July 2003. This is overlaid by four photographs depicting typical scenes of the city centre of Tripoli. From East to West they display the following sites: waste on the both sides of the main river (Abu Ali River); street-vendors at the entrance to the old souk; daily traffic jam in the old city; disused houses in the old city waiting for a renovation since the end of the Civil War in 1990. i Note: More than one month after the beginning of the disastrous summer 2006 war in Lebanon I submit my thesis with the hope that it will be the last conflict in my country, the country which is known for its multicultural and multireligious structure. I hope that by the conclusion of my work Lebanon will have peace and peace for ever. Ich habe die vorliegende Dissertation etwas mehr als einen Monat nach dem katastrophalen Krieg im Sommer 2006 im Lebanon eingereicht. Ich hoffe, daß bis zur Fertigstellung des Drucks dieser Konflikt gelöst ist und endlich dauerhafter Frieden im Libanon einkehrt, dem Land, das für seine Multikulturalität und Multireligiosität bekannt ist.

  • The New Climate Economy Report. Chapter 3: Land Use
    LAND USE 1 www.newclimateeconomy.report Chapter 3 LAND USE LAND USE Main points • Rapid population growth, urbanisation, rising incomes, and resource constraints are putting enormous pressure on agriculture and forests, which are crucial to food security and livelihoods. Agriculture and land use change also account for 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. These factors, together with attractive opportunities to boost investment in well-managed land use systems, make agriculture a top-priority sector for both economic and climate policy, particularly in developing countries. • Agricultural productivity needs to sharply increase to keep up with food demand. The Green Revolution boosted grain yields through widely applicable technological improvements, but many of the measures needed today are location-specific, addressing issues such as drought, pests, and salt resistance. Public funding of R&D needs to increase substantially; reducing input subsidies (mainly for fertiliser and water) would free up funds while reducing waste and negative environmental impacts. • Policy interventions are needed to enable and encourage smallholders to adopt new technologies and practices under more uncertain conditions. Measures to consider include targeted climate change adaptation finance, agricultural insurance schemes, and more secure property rights. Landscape-level (vs. farm-level) approaches are needed to maintain ecosystem services and overcome market failures. • Demand-side measures are also needed to reduce pressure on agricultural systems. On a caloric basis, a quarter of the world’s food is now lost or wasted between farm and fork. For example, food waste reduction measures in developed countries could save US$200 billion per year by 2030, and reduce emissions by at least 0.3 Gt of CO2e.

Today, it is among the most beloved candy manufacturers internationally! The company is famous for always promoting their Lebanese roots in their products, including the Tarboush and Dabke, which are prominent symbol of Lebanese traditions. The company started off by producing hard-boiled candies and marzipan but currently produces biscuits, cakes, chocolates, gum, snack, candies and more of your favorite confectioneries!
