Ziad Riyad Nassar, an active LAU alumnus and the son of LAU President Emeritus Dr. Riyad Nassar, passed away unexpectedly on November 12, 2020. He left us too soon and too suddenly.
Ziad spent his years in the United States with Lebanon on his mind, actively working with and leading a multitude of Lebanese-American nonprofit organizations.
He cherished education, and LAU particularly held a special place in his heart. The Ziad R. Nassar Memorial Endowment Scholarship Fund set up as a gift to education in his memory is an apt commemoration of his love of learning.
