Seeds of Change campaign helps Lebanese students in wake of Beirut explosions
When alumnus Jade Dagher (MBA鈥�95) realized the pressure placed on over 300 Lebanese students studying at 海角社区 by the tragic Beirut explosions on August 4, 2020, he moved into action. An active volunteer mentor and guest lecturer, Dagher contacted Desautels senior development officer, Joy Bennett, and jumpstarted a support fund by donating $12,000 and calling on 海角社区 alumni to contribute. Together with Yara-Maria Coussa, Alesia Chambers, and the 海角社区 Lebanese Students鈥� Association, Dagher is leading the Seeds of Change fundraising campaign, which aims to raise $100,000 to subsidize tuition and living expenses for eligible students.
