Establishment:

Stemming from the Arab American University Corporate Social Responsibility to enhance, improve and develop the advancement of the performance of the local community and through a generous donation from the late Palestinian Engineer Mr. Hassib Sabbagh the co-founder of Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), Hassib Sabbagh Information Technology Center of Excellence (HSITCE) was brought to life at the Arab American University campus in Jenin in 2005.
