Two outstanding academicians received the Suad al Sabah award for cultural
and scientific manuscripts at a dinner hosted by the AUB Alumni Association
on October 16. This year the prize, $10,000 donated annually to the Alumni
Association by the Kuwaiti poet Suad al Sabah for outstanding manuscripts
submitted in the area of the humanities and the sciences, was split between
two winners, Dr. Rita Mirhij and May Beydoun. Selected by a scientific
and cultural committee of AUB graduates, both winners studied at AUB.
Dr. Rita Mirhij earned an MA in psychology from AUB and then went on to
complete her PhD, also in psychology, at the Sorbonne in Paris. Host of
a Future TV show that gives tips on raising children, Mirhij received
the award for her book, Our Children from Birth to Adolescence. She is
currently working on a guidebook on children with attention deficit disorders
(ADD).
