AUC’s Sherif Kamel elected chair of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business

Sherif Kamel (bio), dean of the School of Business at AUC, was elected chair of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) — the world’s largest business education association — for the 2024-2025 academic year, the American University in Cairo (AUC) said in a press release (pdf). As chair, Kamel “plans to focus on digital transformation in education, foster global collaboration, and promote sustainable and inclusive growth within the industry.”

Kamel brings extensive experience to the role, with the AUC School of Business attaining triple-crown accreditation under his tenure as dean — becoming the only business school in the Middle East to have done so and putting the AUC School of Business among the top 1% of business schools across the globe. Kamel has also served on the board of directors of the Central Bank of Egypt since late 2023.
