A Message From the President
Dear Harvard Fellows,
It is with great enthusiasm and a strong commitment to our community that I step into the role of President of the Harvard University Alumni Association of Lebanon (HUAAL).
Having previously served as a member of the Board, I have had the privilege of working closely with many of you and gaining a thorough understanding of the Association’s mission, strengths, and opportunities. This experience has reinforced my belief in the extraordinary potential of our Harvard community in Lebanon and beyond.
As I begin this new chapter, my vision is centered on strengthening the ties that unite us as alumni and on expanding the reach and impact of our Association. In particular, I hope to reconnect with the broader Lebanese Harvard diaspora, recognizing that many members of our community today divide their time between Beirut and cities across the region and the world. By fostering stronger engagement among Lebanese Harvard alumni wherever they reside, we can build a more connected, dynamic, and influential network.
I am also committed to reinforcing Beirut’s position on Harvard’s regional map as a hub for intellectual exchange, cultural dialogue, and meaningful collaboration. Lebanon has long been a place where ideas, resilience, and talent converge, and our Association is uniquely positioned to showcase and amplify that role.
Over the coming months, I look forward to working closely with our Board, our members, Harvard leadership, and fellow alumni to create new opportunities for engagement and impact. Together, we can ensure that the Harvard spirit continues to thrive in Lebanon!
Above all, I firmly believe that the strength of our Association lies in the engagement of its members. To that end, I warmly invite alumni who are interested in contributing their time, ideas, or expertise to reach out and get involved. Whether through helping organize events, mentoring fellow alumni and students, or supporting outreach efforts, there are many ways to contribute. The Association’s success depends not only on its Board but also on the collective commitment and creativity of our broader Harvard community.
Thank you for your trust and support. I look forward to connecting with many of you in the months ahead and to building this exciting chapter together!
Rina Constantine
President
Harvard University Alumni Association of Lebanon
