| | The Lebanese Emigration Research Center (LERC) |
 | | PLAN OF The Lebanese Emigration Research Center (LERC) is a new academic initiative of Notre Dame University (NDU). |
 | | Lebanese emigrants have adapted well to their new homelands, many of them becoming elected officials, surgeons, lawyers, businessmen, traders, professors, etc. Though they have contributed greatly to their adopted lands, they have remained attached to Lebanon, if not physically, at least culturally and spiritually. |
 | | The first of these workshops was implemented in the summer of 2004 in Zgharta and Ehden, which were chosen as for the initial pilot project because of the constant and continuous migration movements from and to these towns and the ongoing contact between their sons and daughters at home and abroad. |
