Being an AUB graduate opens many doors in the business world but more importantly AUB doesn't just give you a degree, it gives you an identity, because of the way you interact with people, the way you think. So to me AUB is not just a university, it's a way of life. AUB is part of us.

I've worked on four continents, at the UN and Johns Hopkins, and everywhere I go I meet AUB graduates. I loved most the experience of having lived in a multicultural campus. We had a lot of fun and it was very exciting. The interaction between these students and the faculty. We had a very active student life, different clubs and different activities all the time. AUB is a life experience.

Every, every bit of it. Every building. Every library. Every tree, especially trees! The beach. My teachers as well as my colleagues. We learned to think with a critical mind on the basis of great concepts such as liberty and freedom.
