"Rather than focusing on the obstacle in your path, focus on the bridge over the obstacle.” [Mary Lou Retton]

As part of the course “Introduction to Real Estate Management”, offered at our Faculty of Business and Management (FGM), students had the great opportunity to visit a construction site developed by one of the world’s most successful shipping company: Merit/CMA-CGM, and got the chance to match the reality with their academic knowledge.

Our students met with different trade and promotion teams and discovered the importance of technology and its applications in the Real Estate sector.

Many thanks to our colleague, Dr. Georges Nour for organizing this visit and to Mr. Ramzi Selman (CEO of A. R. Hourie Enterprises), to Mr. Charbel Eid representer of Estate Solutions (the real estate company in charge) and to Mr. Mehdi Nassar and Mr. Rachid Karam, CEO of Rachid Karam Architects for sharing their experience.

We will keep building bridges and synergies between our faculty and the Business world to couple theoretical and practical knowledge and provide a complete learning and training experience to our students.
