Born in Toronto, raised in Australia and living in Lebanon for nearly two decades, Elizabeth Kassab Sfeir is defiantly making her way on the road less travelled. As the self proclaimed "proud Griffith alumni" tells on this episode of Remarkable Tales, her leadership experience as President and Vice-President of Student Guild on the Gold Coast combined with her Griffith University business degree opened up her eyes to social justice issues. She has defied gender conventions in the patriarchal society of Lebanon by rising to leadership positions in tertiary education, and striving to improve opportunities for those she teaches. As well as taking on the role of Assistant Dean of the Business faculty at Antonine University in Beirut, Elizabeth is also expanding community initiatives to combat domestic violence and help support people with disabilities. She says her ongoing connection to Griffith University has been crucial in helping her break through institutional and societal barriers.
