IC Luncheon

Over 150 people attended the IC luncheon held on November 5th at the Four Season’s Hotel. The guest speaker was Saad Naaman Azhari ‘80, Chairman and General Manager of BLOM Bank who addressed IC alumni, parents and graduates and talked about his IC experience. “IC has always been to me – and I am sure to many others – an oasis of wider cultural experience, character building, and good citizenship,” he said. “The IC spirit made me a better banker and has helped me to maintain BLOM Bank as a leading bank.” IC’s President John Johnson and Senior Vice President Mishka Mourani awarded Mr. Azhari with the Partnership for Excellence Campaign Plaque. For his part, VP Alumni & Development Moufid Beydoun ‘64 stressed that the new facilities under construction are not financed by a tuition increase but are solely financed by fundraising efforts. He added that the number of students will not increase.
