The American University of Beirut (AUB) is actively seeking to establish stronger ties in Latin America, with a focus on Brazil. Caroline Chalouhi Brennan, the AUB Advancement director for Latin America, is leading the initiative. She notes that the university has many alumni and donors in Brazil, including doctors and politicians of Lebanese descent.
These individuals have returned to Lebanon to reconnect with their roots and have enrolled at AUB. The university aims to cultivate relationships with these alumni, positioning them as ambassadors for the institution. In Brazil, the AUB has plans to visit various cities, as numerous Brazilian cities host Lebanese communities. The university also seeks to engage with the Lebanese diaspora in Brazil, offering opportunities such as summer Arabic lessons.
Additionally, the AUB is working to strengthen connections with donors in Latin America, who provide financial support to students or projects at the university. Donations can be as modest as a thousand dollars and can be allocated to specific demographics or causes. Brazil is one of the countries scheduled for a visit by the university's senior vice president for Advancement and Business Development, Imad Baalbaki, who oversees all development initiatives, including the Latin America program.
