The RHU Office of the President welcomed Mr. Michael Haddad, renowned endurance athlete and UN Goodwill Ambassador, to campus today to explore a creative collaboration with the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) Design Department.


Mr. Haddad met with Dr. Houssam Salami, Dean of CAS, Ms. Serene Srouji, Chair of the Design Department, and Ms. Riyam Kurjieh, RHU Graphic Designer, to discuss his upcoming series of inspirational children’s books.


The series aims to empower young readers aged 5 to 12 by fostering resilience, leadership, athleticism, and mental strength, encouraging them to think independently and aspire to become future leaders in science, sports, and medicine.

RHU is proud to support this meaningful initiative by contributing graphic design and illustration expertise through its talented faculty and creative team, reaffirming the university’s dedication to impactful educational and social collaborations.
