At a special gathering for a select group of CEOs and business leaders in mid December, the AUB Olayan School of Business launched its Executive MBA program. The gathering in West Hall  featured opening remarks by President Waterbury and a presentation by Dean George K. Najjar and Visiting Professor Elias Awad from the University of Virginia followed by a lively question and answer session.

Starting in February 2004, the Olayan School of Business will launch its Executive MBA for senior executives from Lebanon and the region. It will be presented on a modular basis to attract participants from outside Lebanon.

The program will be offered on an integrated "theme" basis starting with fundamentals  to be followed by operations, strategy  and change management. A first batch of 20 executives will be admitted to the program in January 2004. For more information contact the School of Business.
