Dr. Elias Warrak's intervention at the SDG Braing Lab Launch Ceremony

The SDG Brain Lab is the latest youth program launched by the United Nations Global Compact Network Lebanon (UNGCNL). A virtual launch ceremony took place gathering UN Representatives, Corporate Experts, and Professional Academic Figures; of which Dr. Elias Warrak, President of UOB and SDG council member was a speaker.
During his intervention, Dr. Warrak shed light on the importance of higher education going beyond teaching work, and into teaching life. “Education gives hope for a better future. Our role is not only to give out diplomas but to enhance human ethics, teach students to be sincere, lead by example and give back to their community.”
Dr. Warrak also stressed on the importance of bridging the gap between classroom concepts and real life. “Internships open up doors to opportunities. With employers seeking career ready graduated, the UOB encourages and supports the implementation of integration between academic studies and work experience.”
