We are here to help advise our MES students during Summer 2020 via Zoom. We will be available every Tuesday from 11am-1pm. Please email Dr. Zeina Schlenoff (zschlenoff@fsu.edu) or Dr. Zafer Lababidi (zlababidi@fsu.edu) to arrange for the meeting and obtain a zoom ID.  

Mon. Nov. 18, the Middle East Center at the Kellogg Research Building (KRB) opened their doors to the FSU community over sweets and mint tea. Students and faculty gathered in lively conversations to discuss Middle Eastern appreciation and culture. The open house also gave students a chance to learn about the Arabic Program at FSU and the only full B.A. degree in Middle Eastern Studies offered in Florida.

Ms. Madelyn Johnson (International Affairs and Middle Eastern Studies) has been awarded the Boren Scholarship to study Arabic this coming spring and summer in Amman, Jordan. Boren is a prestigious and competitive scholarship which funds study abroad by U.S. undergraduate students in world regions critical to U.S. interests. 

Mabrook (congrats), Maddy!
