Ahmad Dallal: Provost of AUB

I am thrilled and delighted to report that dear Ahmad Dallal ha been appointed as provost of AUB. Ahmad has accepted. I could not report on this until the official announcement has been made. I've known Ahmad since I was in high school and he was in college. I think the world of him but I'll be restrained in my praise lest it embarrasses him. Ahmad my appear reserved and low key but you should know he has a spine of steel. I wish him the best.
