Message from the Adnan Kassar School of Business Dean

Welcome to the Adnan Kassar School of Business.

To our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners, I’m delighted to connect with you through this personal note as part of our ongoing pursuit of academic excellence at the Adnan Kassar School of Business (AKSOB).

In a time of profound global transformation, business education must rise to meet the challenges of complexity, uncertainty, and constant change. At AKSOB, we do more than teach—we equip our students with the mindset, skills, and values to lead with purpose and impact in a rapidly evolving world.

I continue to be inspired by the energy and ambition of our students, the excellence and dedication of our faculty and staff, and the strength of our global network of alumni and partners. Together, we are nurturing a dynamic ecosystem grounded in innovation, entrepreneurship and responsible leadership, one that places people, planet and prosperity at the heart of all business pursuits and endeavors.

LAU’s legacy, coupled with AKSOB’s world-class accreditation, dynamic faculty, and vibrant student body, places us in a unique position to lead with purpose. Together, we will continue to embrace innovation, champion sustainability, and foster a culture of entrepreneurship and inclusion.

Our AACSB accreditation, interdisciplinary approach, and strong ties to industry ensure that our programs remain globally competitive while deeply rooted in the needs of our region. Whether we are advancing sustainability, fostering digital transformation, or supporting youth and women empowerment, we do so with a clear commitment to meaningful, measurable impact.

To our students: Stay curious, courageous, empathetic and open to growth.
To our colleagues and partners: Thank you for your ongoing collaboration and trust.

Together, we continue to build a school of business that not only reflects excellence but drives it forward.

Warm regards,
Dr. Dima Jamali
