The Office of Student Affairs (SAO) at Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU) held the annual Student Union (SU) Elections for the Academic Year 2025–2026 on Friday, October 10, 2025, under the supervision of the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections (LADE), with the support of the Elections Committee, administration, and staff.
This year, candidates from all faculties were elected uncontested, except in the Faculty of Law and Political Science (FLPS), where two contenders competed for the seat. Candidates ran with various motivations: voicing students’ concerns, strengthening student relations within their faculty, and maintaining high academic standards through conferences and activities. FLPS students were invited to cast their votes from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. through an organized and smooth voting process ensured by all assigned parties.
“The Student Union elections are purely educational activities,” stressed Dr. Michel El Hayek, Vice President for Academic Affairs, highlighting that the elections train students for future democratic processes.
From his end, Dean of Students Dr. Charbel Zgheib emphasized the skills students acquire throughout the elections:
“From the very first preparation days, students learn bylaws, practice responsibility, and hone their communication skills to convince others of their programs. They begin developing a role in shaping society.”
