USEK’s leadership is guided by the OLM’s Catholic values and strong sense of accountability for its students, it's home country, and its global community.
"The future of a university is shaped by the choices it makes today: what it teaches, the questions it pursues, the opportunities it creates, and the values it upholds.
At the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, we believe that education carries a responsibility beyond academic achievement. It is about developing minds that think independently, people who act with integrity, and generations prepared not only to adapt to change, but to contribute to it.
Founded by the Lebanese Maronite Order, USEK draws strength from a heritage of faith, knowledge, and service. These foundations guide our ambitions as we advance academic excellence, embrace innovation, strengthen research, and build meaningful connections with the world.
Rooted in Lebanon and engaged internationally, we are committed to a university whose influence reaches beyond its campus, through the accomplishments of its students and graduates, the dedication of its community, and the knowledge it places at the service of society.
Our responsibility is to remain true to what defines us while having the courage to evolve. Because the measure of our success is not only how far USEK advances, but how much further those we educate can go."
Fr. Joseph Moukarzel, Prof.
President of USEK
“As Provost, I am deeply committed to upholding our University’s proud tradition of promoting ethical leadership and making meaningful contributions to society.
Our University stands as a place where knowledge meets purpose, and where every member of our community, including students, educators, and staff, plays an essential role in shaping a brighter future.
Throughout my career, I have embraced leadership roles that focus on building bridges across cultures, disciplines, and ideas.
I look forward to continuing this work in close partnership with the Provost Council - led by our visionary Deans, Associate Provosts, and the dedicated office team.
Together, we will strive to cultivate an academic environment that inspires innovation, values critical inquiry, and embraces diverse perspectives.”
