“The work these universities are doing in educating the next generation of leaders has the potential to fundamentally change the region and its relations with the rest of the world for the better,” LeBaron said. “Qatar’s leaders are making an investment in their people that will pay enormous dividends.”

Dean Mark H. Weichold hosted LeBaron on 14 Oct. for a visit with students and other university administrators, and accompanied the ambassador on a tour of the Texas A&M Engineering Building in Education. Weichold said he was honored to host LeBaron and that he appreciates the ambassador’s enthusiastic support of the university’s programs.

“Ambassador LeBaron is an ardent advocate of education and I look forward to partnering with him as we work to increase awareness of the fine academic and research programs of Texas A&M at Qatar,” Weichold said.
