= Project 3: USJ Extreme week =<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
<br />
The aim of this program is to make USJ involved in the community. It consists of forming groups of students from different majors in order to work on a real problem encountered in a certain region in Lebanon. This way students will be initiated to multidisciplinary work, they will invest their potential and will be efficient in their community while using the facilities offered by their university. This may initiate future projects that students may be inspired to do, after they graduate. This project will allow USJ to be better in the Spin-out section, because our university has a lot of wet labs and offers several facilities but are only used for academic purposes and for research.<br />
<br />
#Recruitment of students from all campuses<br />
#Set a date that suits the majority of the students and is in harmony with the academic schedule<br />
#Collaborate with Service de l’Insertion Professionnelle: Give the enrolled students sessions about the skills they need to acquire to be working in this program:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;"><br />
<li>Design thinking&nbsp;: 4 courses</li><br />
<li>Team work: 2 courses</li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
#Collaborate with Operation 7e jour: Select one region (a year) and identify one problem<br />
#Organize a trip for the students enrolled to go visit the region and study the ground they will be working on<br />
#Go back to the university and bring together all the ideas<br />
#Ideate<br />
#Follow up from the professors<br />
#Prototype<br />
#Follow up from the professors<br />
#Final presentation in front of the professors<br />
#Choose the best project and present it to the people concerned by the problem in the region<br />
#Collaborate with USJ services (incubators, accelerators, funds, labs etc) to find a procedure to execute the project<br />
#All the students enrolled, not only those who came up with the project, will give feedback to the team working on this project to enhance the chances of optimizing the idea<br />
#Invest in the project Or study the project more profoundly Or let it go<br />

<br />
== Problem ==<br />
<br />
Students at SJU want some self-development courses in order to success in life and become changemakers of tomorrow.<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
<br />
After checking the window of availability of most students all together, we found the common time where they all meet is at the lunch break.<br />
<br />
From here, we got the idea of Innovative Coffee Machine.<br />
<br />
This project isn’t about a coffee machine that instead of coffee serves innovation, but instead of wasting their time students on talking about random non-necessary topics, the Coffee Machine will help them start a discussion without them knowing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Concept ==<br />
<br />
#Where is it?<br />
<br />
The Innovative Coffee Machine has not only one house but it’s going to have many houses in each campus.<br />
<br />
#When is it?<br />
<br />
The Innovative Coffee Machine will randomly be transported all over the campuses at a pace of 2 times a month for multiple campuses.<br />
<br />
#What is it?<br />
<br />
The Innovative Coffee Machine is a regular coffee machine that serves regular coffee for free. But what is special in this coffee machine is:<br />
<br />
*Prototype 1: Key Speaker – A person sharing giving a workshop about certain topics<br />
*Prototype 2: A whiteboard written on it a topic that uses great marketing technics to promote itself and let students discuss it and learn from each other’s experiences<br />
*Prototype (Idea – On - Paper) 3: The coffee machine talks to the students taking coffee using AI and suggest them to talk about projects and topics that might be interesting and will help them develop their personal skills.<br />

<br />
== Solution ==<br />
<br />
The aim of this program is to make USJ involved in the community. It consists of forming groups of students from different majors in order to work on a real problem encountered in a certain region in Lebanon. This way students will be initiated to multidisciplinary work, they will invest their potential and will be efficient in their community while using the facilities offered by their university. This may initiate future projects that students may be inspired to do, after they graduate. This project will allow USJ to be better in the Spin-out section, because our university has a lot of wet labs and offers several facilities but are only used for academic purposes and for research.<br />
<br />
#Recruitment of students from all campuses<br />
#Set a date that suits the majority of the students and is in harmony with the academic schedule<br />

This was started to help the community. Students go and help some community in need. We will add the innovation and entrepreneurship mindset. We will create trainings for students to create viable products that might help the community in need and might be startup ideas.<br />

We believe that peer Teaching is the best way to make this happen. We already have peer teaching classes going on in our daily classroom schedule. But the activities are not being executed in the way they are to be done. This might be due to the fact that students have an unnerving feel as they think they were forced to participate in the activities which might seem boring to them. So, changing the way these activities happen inside a classroom that students might be interested in, can help them grab opportunity to work in a team and learn something that would improve their knowledge.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

#<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">At initial stages, group discussion with 4–5 students each group may be&nbsp;experiemented. This might help them to overcome their fear of public speaking at the initial stages.</font><br />

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap;">Participating in a team activity develops thought process that helps a student to know what interests him/her. Thus, they come to know what all opportunities they have at the moment.

<div>= <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Project 1: Inspiring design thinking</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

All this will take place next to the coffee container. By this the Container will become a landmark a signature.

= Project 3: USJ Extreme week =<br />
<br />
== Inspiration: ==<br />
<br />
Our UIF team was inspired by the extreme documentary provided by the Stanford team. We would like to start a project like this on a smaller scale in Lebanon to help the community. This will help our university reach level 5 (Spin Out)<br />
<br />
== Plan: ==<br />
<br />
We will build on the already existing activity at our university named "Operation septieme<span data-contrast="none" class="TextRun SCXW181043533 BCX0" xml:lang="FR-FR" lang="FR-FR" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, Arial_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-kerning: none; line-height: 19.425px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW181043533 BCX0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: inherit;">&nbsp;</span></span>&nbsp;jour" in English "operation on day 7". This was started to help the community. Students go and help some community in need. We will add the innovation and entrepreneurship mindset. We will create trainings for students to create viable products that might help the community in need and might be startup ideas.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ambitious students are plenty at USJ, and the opportunities and infrastructures for startup creation are there. The main problem we keep hearing from students "How can we make a proposal for investors and what is the full process of creating a startup". And we keep hearing from investors "We need people that have a plan, a vision and that inspire confidence"</span></span><br />
<br />
== <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Solution</span></font> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A website will be created.

We believe that peer Teaching is the best way to make this happen. We already have peer teaching classes going on in our daily classroom schedule. But the activities are not being executed in the way they are to be done. This might be due to the fact that students have an unnerving feel as they think they were forced to participate in the activities which might seem boring to them. So, changing the way these activities happen inside a classroom that students might be interested in, can help them grab opportunity to work in a team and learn something that would improve their knowledge.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div>= <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Project 1: Inspiring design thinking</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

Seniors to be awarded credits for their commitment to peer teaching sessions. Feedback from the members of a team lead by that senior, may fetch him/her credits. This puts senior students in their path as they help peers to participate in the activities.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

We believe that peer Teaching is the best way to make this happen. We already have peer teaching classes going on in our daily classroom schedule. But the activities are not being executed in the way they are to be done. This might be due to the fact that students have an unnerving feel as they think they were forced to participate in the activities which might seem boring to them. So, changing the way these activities happen inside a classroom that students might be interested in, can help them grab opportunity to work in a team and learn something that would improve their knowledge.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">How PT can be interesting:</span> ===<br />

#<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">At initial stages, group discussion with 4–5 students each group may be&nbsp;experiemented. This might help them to overcome their fear of public speaking at the initial stages.</font><br />
#<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To avoid monotony, different&nbsp;activites&nbsp;many planned from session to session.</span></span><br />
<br />

<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br />

<li><font color="#000000" size="3">Availability of senior students who can effectively lead the sessions might be a problem.</font></li><br />
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Students might not want to participate in a team all of a sudden.</span></span></li><br />

Seniors to be awarded credits for their commitment to peer teaching sessions. Feedback from the members of a team lead by that senior, may fetch him/her credits. This puts senior students in their path as they help peers to participate in the activities.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

Then the main speaker or as we like to call him the discussion leader will come and check the board so he can get to know what students already know about the topic or what misconceptions they have on the subject.After that the discussion leader will start presenting the topic to the students and try to lead them into a constructive conversation. All this will take place next to the coffee container. By this the Container will become a landmark a signature.

<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist.

These students develop complete projects on a higher level.

== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur.

This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />

<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently.

This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program.

<div>= <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Project 1: Inspiring design thinking</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

We believe that peer Teaching is the best way to make this happen. We already have peer teaching classes going on in our daily classroom schedule. But the activities are not being executed in the way they are to be done. This might be due to the fact that students have an unnerving feel as they think they were forced to participate in the activities which might seem boring to them. So, changing the way these activities happen inside a classroom that students might be interested in, can help them grab opportunity to work in a team and learn something that would improve their knowledge.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

#<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">At initial stages, group discussion with 4–5 students each group may be&nbsp;experiemented. This might help them to overcome their fear of public speaking at the initial stages.</font><br />

<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

<div>= <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Project 1: Inspiring design thinking</span> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;">Students do not really seem to know much about I&E especially in their first two years at university. This is why we decided to work on promoting design thinking.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #1: Campus Information Book</span> ==<br />
<div>The above diagram shows how this information book can be helpful to students on campus. Many graduates managed to become successful entrepreneurs or reached very important positions in big companies. Our information book will include these success stories to help students shape their entrepreneurial mindset and follow the example of the alumni who reached success. Another addition to this book is the contact information of these people; thus, students will have the opportunity to contact them to either learn from them or get helpful information.</div><div><br/></div><div>The second part of this book will include the projects that are being worked on by final year students or the serious hobbyist. This way, potential students will get an idea of what to expect from our campus and current students will get an idea of what is going on around them.</div><div><br/></div><div>Many students also join and win competitions. These students develop complete projects on a higher level. This will push other students to know about competitions in campus and will motivate them to join and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #2: Organizing Competions on Campus</span> ==<br />
<div>Competitions let students learn project management and teamwork, two essential attributes for every entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs love competition; thus, developing the competiton spirit inside the campus is essential as students will work hard on accomplishing the best project they can possibly do in order to try and win. This process will develop the entrepeneurial mindset for students and will teach them to work hard, work smart and organize their projects</div><div><br/></div><br />
== <span style="color:#808080;">Strategy #3: UIF entrepreneurial programs</span> ==<br />
<div>Our university plans to join the UIF program permanently. Finding potential UIF students is essential for the continuity of our university in this program to pursue the projects we started working on and developing. This way, these students will get the opportunity of learning from our experience with the program and will get an idea of what we are working on.<br/></div><div>Organizing UIF events and conferences on campus is also essential in order to share our experience with the program and the design thinking skills we&nbsp;</div><div>acquired after completing this program. This will motivate students to join entrepreneursip program to learn and grow.</div><div><br/></div><div><br />

Today, it consists of 5 main campuses: Campus of Medical Sciences, Campus of Social Sciences, Campus of Sciences and Technlogy, Campus of Human Sciences, Campus of Innovation and Sports as well as 3 study centers in Lebanon and one in Dubai. These campuses enroll approximatively 12000 students in total.&nbsp;The university is considered to be among the top academic institutions in the Middle-East and encourages Trilinguisme (French, English and Arabic).
