The office is often contacted by journalists looking for expert opinion on current affairs of science, health and politics, and we arrange the contact for them. For example, a physics professor was called upon to answer questions about the solar eclipse and about earthquakes, while faculty from the Political Science and Public Administration Department were in demand to comment on political upheavals in the region. To assist the press in covering AUB events on campus such as the Opening Ceremony, Commencement and Folk Dance Festival, journalists and press photographers are invited and are given brochures, pamphlets, posters, programs and information packs prepared by the office.
