Wael Haidar

Wael Haidar is one of our alumni, who comes from Bourj Al Barajneh refugee camp in Lebanon. A 2018 graduate of Lehigh University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a 2020 graduate with an M.S. in Management.

Wael is a highly valued mentor at LE•O, providing invaluable support to our team in numerous ways. He currently serves as LE•O’s Chief Operating Officer and Treasurer on the Board. In addition to his many contributions, he plays a crucial role as our official travel coordinator—a particularly challenging task given the complex restrictions faced by our Palestinian students with various passports and travel documents. Always accessible and eager to help, Wael is a steadfast source of guidance for any student in need of advice, no matter the issue.
