1. Residents of Orlando, Florida have another great reason to be smiling in the “Sunshine State”. American
University of Leadership (AUL) is once again expanding its footprint in the United States by blending its
“Online Programs”with the new“Instructor Led Courses”on the Metro-West Campus.
The new campus began offering physical classes this Fall 2014; the online program will continue to host
its programs and degrees alongside the new classes. The state-of-the-art facility is home to High-Tech
classrooms that are designed to comfortably accommodate students in a business-like atmosphere.
The student-centric lounge area is designed to engage students in conversation while enjoying warm
beverages and images on the Large Screen TV. Computer work stations and Wi-Fi connectivity are also
available for student convenience. As an added value, professors maintain office hours to better support
students with their courses.

By providing“anywhere and anytime”courses, the pioneering founders of AUL have helped thousands of
graduates achieve goals they would never have thought possible. Alumni all over the world are proud to
display their AUL badge as a sign of proven leadership.
Referring to the new campus, President of the university Dr. Anass Lahlou, commented “I have received
several requests from Alumni wishing to take a picture with the large AUL badge displayed in the front
office.” As strange as the request is, beginning Fall 2015, Alumni will be allowed to visit the campus and
take a picture under the famous AUL Badge on display in the front office. “Another great tradition in AUL
is born”.

2. After its success in establishing itself in the
Kingdom of Morocco, American University of
Leadership is the first American University to
share its experience and expertise with our African
brothers and friends.
Africa is called upon many parts of the world:
Europe, America, Asia…There is an overflow of
richness in Africa that is known to all of us... To
have spoken in the past about Africa as a continent
would’ve been out of touch, but nowadays many
conflicts came to an end as a result we see more
political stability which translate into growing
GDP and new partnerships notably Canada with
investors settling in the region, without counting
all the head of states visits: Russia, Turkey,
Venezuela… It’s an emerging continent for sure.
«Leadership is what Africa needs. Not any type of
leadership, but the one well prepared to manage
socio-economics with a visionary goal mentality
that will allow this leader to attack the high number
of problems that are high jacking the continent.
There is a leadership crisis that prevents adaptive
development processing to be put in place in
Africa.
Leadership is a personnel transformation method,
a particular life approach attitude and to be
engaged in a continuous process which leads you
toward human accomplishment.
That’s why American University of Leadership
involvement in Africa comes to play.
Human resources, as you all know, are the engine
behind all type of development, to get to that
level, it’s crucial to be able to face actual problems

American University of Leadership, the first American University to open its
doors to the African continent
especially with globalization.
American University of Leadership is aware of the vital

Faso, Libya, Togo, and we count on expanding our
partnerships with other African countries.
Just as our president, Dr. Anass Lahlou, would say: ‘’on
one hand we are being attentive to the world evolution,
on the other hand we are also attentive to our students’’.

4. Dr. Nozha Ibnlkhayat, AUL’s Dean of Doctorate French Program represented the University at this year’s ICOA in
Tunisia, where:
- ShewasaScientificcommitteemember in charge of communication assessments with 35 academy members,
university professors and digital professionals related to scientific communications proceeding from: Germany,
Algeria, Bahrain, Canada, Croatia, Egypt, France, India, Lebanon, Oman, Senegal, Switzerland, Tunisia, and
Ukraine.
- She hosted a session about‘’Free access devices in universities”.
She also authored a sixty page paper titled: “EthicsonScientificCommunicationintheDigitalandFreeAccess
Era”*.
* Due to the volume of the paper, it will be accessible through the ISD magazine.
The need for communication
‘’At the moment where the need for open access reaches a certain maturity in the world especially in the
developed countries due to the strategy of systems reinforcement of open access to Technical and Scientific
Information (IST) in all domains, it is still in progress in the Developing part of the world, such as the Arab and
African countries.
In fact, the development of this strategy or movement in these countries is inhibited due to the lack of
awareness from researchers and decision-makers to the many advantages it provide, in terms of scientific
production visibility, free access to research results, as well as access to performance indicators in the academic
environment. This conference goal is to raise awareness and propel the free access movement to a world class
scale, particularly in the southern countries by favoring critical thinking about themes related to free access,
to enhancement of scientific research and the active roles libraries should play in this new model.
The conference objective is to promote information exchange between researchers, academic staff, and data
collectors in many fields, to share their experiences and some of their research results related to the new
scientific communication and free access models, as well as discuss the challenges ahead to reach proposed
solutions.
It will provide an overview on the latest
developments in the field of open access to IST
and sensitize stakeholders of the benefits of free
access to involve them in this movement. It is
an opportunity to forge collaborative networks
among researchers in different countries who will
initiate joint projects.‘’

6. Induction Day
The induction day of 2014/2015 was a great success; and a real opportunity to meet with old and
new students from all levels, create a positive impact together and start the year with a leadership
mindset.
The day started with an overview of studies in the United States, and the advantages of staying in
Morocco instead. Students were curious to learn more about the University and the perspectives
that they will have in the future. They gladly shared some main objectives related to the quality
of education provided during classes and the real actual market needs. A Q/A Session closed the
morning session successfully.
Students and Staff enjoyed a gourmet lunch at “Amal Women’s Training Center and Moroccan
Restaurant” where delicious Moroccan dishes are served! So If you are in Marrakech don’t miss it
even if it’s just for a cup of mint tea !

preparing students to start and/or continue a great academic year full of energy and enthusiasm.The
“Réussir ensemble” certified workshop was led by the professional Coach “Mrs Hanane Oubidar”

7. The beginning of the academic year of 2014/2015 was
marked by the participation of AUL/PIIMT Marrakech
students as volunteers in one of the main events of the
year “The Atlantic Dialogues 2014”, which brought
together over 400 high-level policymakers, business
leaders, and opinion-shapers from Africa, America,
the Caribbean and Europe, for three days of open
discussion that widens the traditional transatlantic
conversation and addresses issues affecting the
Atlantic Basin.
The Atlantic Dialogues encourages a lively and
informal exchange of views between young
professionals and today’s leaders. The forum provides
a unique platform for today and tomorrow’s leaders
in the world of politics, business, and ideas to engage
with senior policy makers, business and media
representatives.
The event was organized by The German Marshall
Fund of the United States (GMF) and the OCP Policy
enter of Morocco in Marrakech from October 23 to
26, 2014 in Palmeraie Golf Palace “Palais des congres”.
The main offer that AUL/PIIMT students had was
being an integral part of the success of The Atlantic
Dialogues and getting first-hand experience of high-
level political event organization on an operational
level, and working closely with GMF and the OCP
Policy Center staff in the run-up to the event and
assistinginawidearrayoflogisticalandadministrative
tasks during the weekend of the conference, including
but not limited to security, guest relations, production,
transportation assistance, and media. Volunteers also
had the opportunity to participate in parts of the
official program.
And here are some qualifications required before
selections Fluency in English and preferably French
or Arabic; excellent communication skills; strong
interest in challenges facing the Wider Atlantic;
and motivation to work flexible hours and handle
logistical and administrative work. Experience in
event management is desirable but not essential.
Volunteers are expected to be punctual, reliable,
and to dress and behave in a professional manner
throughout the duration of the conference and
preparations At the end of the event, all AUL/PIIMT
students who participated received their certificate of
participations, but better than that, they learned how
it is like to work in a multicultural team, and the way
international event were organized.

8. MEDays International Forum
AUL/PIIMT was this year represented at MEDays by Pr. Debra Duncan, International Public Relations Director
and Ms. Meriem Khattabi, Tangier Operations Assistant.
The Forum took place this year in Tangier, a city that is known as the crossroads of Africa and Europe, the
Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Tangier is rich in diplomatic history, its cultural mix and its international heritage,
made it an ideal selection for the 7th edition of the International Forum MEDays, hosted under the patronage of
HM King Mohammed VI.
The MEDays International Forum represents an annual meeting space for exchange and sharing of excellence and
knowledge which is open to the public and brought together leaders from around the world who came to contribute
to the international dialogue on economic, social, environmental, political and security issues faced by the southern
countries in a globalized world who are in search of new avenues of community and economic health and the
realization of new benchmarks.
Morocco has positioned itself as a regional hub in the fight against terrorism. The Moroccan experience is based
on a realistic approach and effective policies, proposed by King Mohammed VI, which are intended to be coherent,
comprehensive, optimistic and structural. Morocco is therefore convinced that there can be no security, peace and
stability without the triptych: safety, fair and inclusive human development and promotion of cultural and authentic
religious values. However, Morocco’s contribution is viable only through individual and collective commitment of
States and must be done in a constructive spirit, far from all political calculations.
Ms. Duncan and Ms. Khattabi enjoyed great opportunity in participating in several conferences, sharing ideas,
posing questions important to continued growth in higher education and corporate training models.
The experience brought us back to the comforting knowledge that AUL/PIIMT is now and has history of moving
in the right direction at the right time, equipped with the current and future programs bringing the knowledge and
skills that are indeed leading the way to sustainable current successes and bridging the gap to current and future
national and international opportunities.
