AUB Visiting Professor Dies
 |
Andrew Vincent, a visiting assistant professor of political studies and
public administration at AUB, suddenly passed away on April 6, and on
the morning of April 8 his students and colleagues gathered in front of
West Hall to pay tribute to him. The memorial came after the dean of the
Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Khalil Bitar, informed the AUB community
with sadness that Vincent had passed away after a prolonged illness.
Professor Vincent was the director of the Macquarie Center for Middle
East and North African Studies at Macquarie University in Australia. He
was an AUB alumnus and earned an MA in Middle Eastern studies in 1982.
Pursuing further studies, he earned his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania
and then assumed various academic positions in Australia, his home country.
Professor Vincent continued to hold his classes at AUB, in spite of his
illness, until his sudden death. He is survived by his wife, Petra Canard.
