Dear Students:
I am pleased to announce that the annual Student Representative Committee/University Student Faculty Committee (SRC/USFC) elections will take place on Friday November 27, 2015. AUB student elections are a fine demonstration and model in Lebanon and the region of competitive yet peaceful democratic expression and this is a feature that we are all proud of and eager to maintain in the context of the difficult events surrounding us. In line with the reforms we have introduced to make the process more efficient nominations can now be made electronically based on the successful example of last year. You many nominate yourself only using the link below
