Building Intercultural Connection
In the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies, or MENAS, students learn about the history, culture, and languages of the Middle East and North Africa. Increased cultural understanding doesn’t just take place through instruction and research, however. It takes place when students from different countries and backgrounds interact and discuss issues.
