Dubai for 40

Dubai For forty is a program and an objective that the Alumni Committee for Dubai and the Northern Emirates has adopted for its current term in office. The program aims at educating 10 students at AUB next year.

The whole affair started during an informal gathering of a small group of people who were evaluating the idea of joining the alumni committee. That small group believed that the alumni community could and should extend more support to that University and the student body than it has done until then. That group also believed that both the community as well as the committee needed to undergo some awakening to remind them of the deep links that exist between who and what we are today and what the University’s undeniable mark on that has been, still and will always be.

We have all been fortunate enough to attend one of the greatest universities of our region. It gave us a certain personality and a certain character that opened for us the widest possible horizons in our professional lives.

Official bodies, international companies, private concerns and businesses as well as many others all wanted to recruit young men and women graduating from AUB. This eagerness is not a simplistic coincidence as much as a strong belief backed by decades of experience in the consistent quality of those graduates. Whilst the individuals’ personal efforts cannot be ignored, the formation of the mind and the preparation and formation that the University gives to each individual is what ultimately enabled this latter in the future. It is about giving forty needy students a chance to study at AUB and a chance to face life with proper and adequate education.
