Smoke-free Van Dyck Courtyard |
||||||||||||||||
| The Van Dyck Courtyard is a
smoke-free space since May 1, 2007, in an effort to present a healthy
working and relaxation environment. Making the Van Dyck Courtyard smoke-free is consistent with AUB policy on smoking which prohibits smoking in the vicinity of windows and doorways of university buildings to prevent contamination of smoke-free areas by secondhand smoke. We have been encouraged to take this step by the Wellness Committee Tobacco Free Campus Initiative which is seeking to increase smoke-free spaces at AUB. We trust that you will abide with this policy and help us in ensuring that the Van Dyck Courtyard remains smoke-free. Thank you. Huda Zurayk, Dean, FHS |

Do You Know! | |
| Attempts to start a Lebanese Red Cross Club at AUB were made in 1973 and in 1978. The Club was finally established in 1980 and was located in Room 201 in West Hall. In 1982, during the Israeli invasion, the Club opened its clubhouse to the overflow from hospitals. Club members brought food for the displaced, provided medication, visited the sick at home and helped re-staff AUB. Club members acted as translators and receptionists and organized blood donation days with LRC physicians. | ||
