WATERVILLE — Dr. Melik Peter Khoury, president and CEO of Unity College, will share his vision for the future of the college, his notable leadership path and lifelong experiences that prepared him for his current position during an April 29 leadership luncheon.
Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce and KV Connect will cohost the luncheon, to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Amici’s Cucina, 137 Main St.

Khoury holds a bachelor’s degree from University of Maine Fort Kent, a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Maine, and a doctorate in business administration from the University of Phoenix.
Under his leadership Unity College has successfully launched The Enterprise Model, which offers traditional and adult students educational opportunities through Distance Education; Hybrid Learning; and Sustainable Ventures. In the process, Khoury has begun to break down the traditional barriers associated with higher education, making it more affordable, accessible, flexible, and relevant for students locally and around the world.
