Our History

Vision and Mission

Vision and Mission

 The Arab-American Educational Foundation, Inc. (AAEF) was established in Houston in 1985 as a non-profit organization. We have produced many educational events and became the only organization in the country to establish two chairs of Arab studies at different universities in the same city: at Rice University and the University of Houston.

Dr. Aziz Shaibani is the President, leading a dedicated board of 15 Directors. A distinguished Advisory Board provides valuable counsel. Our most recent achievement was the March 2019 agreement with the University of Houston to establish a Center for Arab Studies.
