Ricardo Karam at AUB and AUB Mediterraneo Opening Ceremonies

At the beginning of the 2025–2026 academic year, Ricardo Karam attended the opening ceremonies of both the American University of Beirut (AUB) main campus in Beirut and AUB Mediterraneo in Paphos. The events marked a vibrant return of students to campus life, filled with energy and anticipation despite the many challenges faced worldwide. As a trustee, Karam also participated in the Board of Trustees meetings, engaged with new faculty, staff, and students, and toured the expanding facilities, three days of rich encounters and forward-looking discussions that underscored AUB’s growing impact both in Lebanon and abroad.
