AUK Welcomes New President

The American University of Kuwait began the New Year by welcoming the new Interim President Dr. Tim Sullivan. Dr. Sullivan came to AUK from the American University of Cairo (AUC) where he served in a wide variety of leadership roles including Provost from 1998 to 2008, and AUC's Acting President in 2001-2002. He is the author or co-author of several books, including The New Dynamics of Multilateralism (forthcoming in 2010 from Westview Press), Social Background and Bureaucratic Behavior in Egypt (American University of Cairo Press, 1990), Women in Egyptian Public Life (Syracuse University Press, 1986), and Women and Work in the Arab World (American University of Cairo Press, 1981). Sullivan's scholarly articles and monographs on a wide range of subjects, including multinational diplomacy and the foreign policy of U.S. President Bill Clinton, gender roles in the Middle East, and the United Nations in the post Cold War era, appear in numerous journals and publications. 

AUK has also launched a comprehensive international search for AUK's third president. The search will be conducted with the assistance of Isaacson, Miller (IM), an internationally known executive search firm specializing in higher education and related fields. Dr. Sullivan will serve as interim President of AUK until the Presidential Search Committee locates a suitable candidate.
