IC alumni Mohamed Chatah was a
top student in his class graduating
with honors in 1970 (English Section).
His barbaric death sent shock waves
throughout the IC community. After
graduating from IC, Chatah continued
on to study economics at AUB and later
earned a doctorate at the University
of Texas. In the 1980s he worked
at the International Monetary Fund
in Washington DC then served as
Ambassador to the US from 1997 to
2000. In 2005, he returned to Lebanon
as a senior advisor to the then newly
elected Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. In
2008, he served as the Lebanese Minister
of Finance for one year before becoming
the foreign policy advisor to former Prime
Minister Saad Hariri. Chatah was
known for his moderate stand in
the Lebanese political arena. He
is survived by his wife and two
children.
The IC family sends its
greatest condolences to the
Chatah family. He was well
respected and loved by the IC
community and in indeed in
the entire country. May he rest
in peace.
