LAU has been part of Beirut’s history since 1835. Our
campus and curriculum have been shaping Lebanon’s
leaders for over a century, instilling in them a commitment
to lifelong learning and scholarship, and a set of values
relating to civic engagement and service to others. We
view partnering with KidzMondo as an extension of our
mission to nurture the leaders of tomorrow.
LAU will be the University of KidzMondo. I, along with Dr.
Elie Badr, Assistant to the President - Strategy Officer for
External Projects and Related Entities, and the members
of the KidzMondo committee, will be overseeing the
establishment of the space along with the academic
material that we will be presenting to children. It is our
hope that through this experience they will gain a greater
appreciation of higher education and the importance of
life long learning, and perhaps we will be meeting LAU’s
future students.
I have nothing but positive impressions of the project thus
far. I believe KidzMondo is a unique and innovative idea
that is a clear departure from the classic entertainment
parks, which have become a “thing of the past.”
KidzMondo brings together constructive learning and
entertainment and this is crucial for the success and mission
of the park. I would like to congratulate KidzMondo’s
administrative staff for this novel idea. I value their
professional attitude and modus operandi and wish them
nothing but success!
Dr. Joseph G. Jabbra, President
