We're joined by Fadlo Khuri for Episode 33 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss all that is The American University of Beirut.

Fadlo Khuri is the current president of AUB, and reflects on 153 years of the institution's role in contributing to the higher education of local, regional and international students.

We discuss the October Uprising, the university's commitment to freedom of expression, and a determination to remain resilient and resonant for generations to come.

Read Fadlo Khuri's recent piece in The Atlantic on the role of the university in a time of demands for political change:
