About Dr. Swaid Swaid

Born in Eilaboun, Israel, Dr. Swaid Swaid came to Harding at age 16 with his friend, Khalil Jahshan. As an international student, Swaid understands very well the impact Harding has on students who study here as well as the life-enhancing experiences students have while studying abroad. Swaid has served on Harding’s Board of Trustees since 2022 and is an esteemed neurosurgeon who serves his patients and community following the example of Jesus Christ.

International Education

We seek to unite people, and, in doing so, to unite the world.

The Institute aims to engage students, faculty, staff, and the broader Harding community in open conversation and learning opportunities on a wide range of international topics with both personal and global implications. In doing so, the Institute brings recognition of these global issues before agents of impactful change and inspire them to rectify that which is broken in our world.
