The American University of Beirut has produced thousands of alumni since its gate were opened to students in 1866. The school has produced great minds that have gone on to impact people’s lives in their various chosen fields. After years of learning and growing, a fair number of people still want their connections to the school intact. Cue the entrance (Just like Hulk Hogan entering to the sound of Jimmy Hendrix’s Voodoo Child) of the Worldwide Alumni Association of the American University of Beirut (WAAAUB) – with chapters around the world bringing alumni together with different activities and events. The association also plays the role of providing relevant information about their alma mater. This is the part where we crunch some numbers…and do some statistics. Are you ready? Perhaps a good number to start with is the total number of chapters. WAAAUB has 50 chapters spread across 100 countries, 3 continents – Africa, Europe and Asia – and 5 regions – Europe, Lebanon, Rest of the World, North America and the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA). The chapters in Lebanon are further divided into 9 chapters – professional chapters – depending on the faculty the alumni finished from. And when you punch in the member strength of each individual chapter the member strength of the WAAAUB, the number totals about 55,000. In the Lebanon chapters alone, there are just over 35,000 members. Of all the regions, the participation in the MENA is at the highest, as 89% of the registered members are active; closely followed by the rest of the world and North America with 86% active participation from members. This pales in comparison to what’s applicable in the Lebanon chapter where active participation is a miserly 37% of registered members despite being in the host nation so to speak. Talk about a prophet having no honor in his home. Active participation in Europe, however, manages to hover just above the average mark at 54%. The WAAAUB continues to bring AUB alumni together that would otherwise have been dispersed and separated forever. Helping people keep in touch, network, take up worthy causes and continue to extol the values of their alma mater. Can you Buffer to the WAAAUB chapters in this challenge?
