USEK Provost's Entities

In July 2025, Dr. Rima Mattar assumed the role of Provost to lead USEK’s academic affairs portfolio, oversee academic quality, faculty affairs, curriculum development, institutional compliance, and strategic academic innovation in collaboration with the President Council and the Provost Council.

She is currently spearheading several transformative initiatives, including:

1. The modernization of faculty governance and promotion frameworks.
2. The advancement of artificial intelligence governance in higher education through the establishment of the Committee for AI Responsibility and Ethics (CARE).
3. The development of lifelong learning and professional education initiatives.

One of her outstanding achievements is the establishment of the USEK Diplomacy Academy, a strategic institutional initiative that serves as a platform for diplomatic education and public policy engagement.

She also oversaw international grants and several European joint and structural projects that significantly strengthened USEK’s global visibility and engagement.
