==Regional and Local Development at AUB==
The Neighborhood Initiative is one of the many ways AUB gives back to Lebanon, it helps my mobilizing campus resources by starting outside of the campus walls. They highlight hidden gems and stores near campus, open weekly farmer's market to provide a variety of local Lebanese products, and restore damaged buildings. In addition, there are current ongoing project research concerning the re-design of available buildings at AUB as smart and green buildings.
AUB also hosts a yearly 2-days event called AUB Outdoors where people from all over Lebanon can come to participate in festival games and attend a concert on campus!!
Moreover, AUB's high research output provides global, regional and local development. The faculty of medicine has research centers for genetics, cancer, infectious diseases, neuroscience, etc. The faculty of engineering has centers to tackle problems in Lebanon for energy, water, transportation, pollution, etc.
The course “Design of Engineering Solutions for Health Challenges in Crises” encourages participants to use engineering design to address humanitarian challenges, bridging the gap between practitioners, engineers , scientists, NGOs, and social entrepreneurs to generate health solutions for populations in protracted crises. The course model is made of several components including interactive lectures and field visits to humanitarian settings, including interactive lectures, field work and mentorship.
There is also multiple clubs and societies at AUB that work with the Lebanese community to make a better and more engaging Lebanonin addition to the Outlook Newspaper, an independent student publication since 1949.
