“These are,” in the words of President Fadlo R. Khuri, “momentous days that hold out hope for a better, more inclusive future for Lebanon.” They are also challenging times for many people in Lebanon because of the dire economic circumstances in the country. Some AUB students, whose parents have lost their jobs and/or have not been paid, and patients seeking care at the AUB Medical Center are struggling. They need our help.
AUB launched a worldwide Solidarity Appeal on November 27, 2019 to raise money for a Student Solidarity Fund to assist current AUB students, who are unable to pay their tuition fees, and a Patient Solidarity Fund to benefit needy patients seeking care at the AUB Medical Center. Alumni and friends have responded generously. There are still many students and patients who need help.
The AUB Board of Trustees organized a dinner in New York City on March 19, 2020 to support the Solidarity Appeal. Unfortunately, the dinner had to be postponed in early March due to concerns about the COVID-19 public health situation.
