Our History of Lebanon course, led by Dr. Nidal Shaaban, had the honor of hosting His Excellency Mr. Fayssal Karame, a Member of the Lebanese Parliament, on Tuesday. Together, we explored Lebanon’s history through the legacy of its past presidents, each of whom played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's journey. Lebanon remains captive to the geopolitical dynamics of the region, yet the Lebanese people now face a historic opportunity, potentially supported by favorable regional conditions, to navigate out of the crisis and build a new Lebanon.
Mr. Karame engaged with our students, answering their questions and sharing invaluable insights that left a lasting impression. As he stated, "The future lies in the hands of the next generation; university students like you and all the youth of Lebanon today."
These interactions reflect EIU’s commitment to providing enriching opportunities that bridge the gap between education and real-world experience.
A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Karame for his inspiring contribution!
