[Peace] Fwd: Arab Heritage Week also November 7 - 10 /

[Karen Medina]

The Arab Student Association is hosting its annual Arab Heritage Week
(AHW), November 7-10, 2011. The purpose of AHW is to spread awareness
about Arab culture, societies and issues of contemporary concern, such
as democracy in the Middle East, the relationship between media and
politics and gender issues. We believe that this is imperative to
promote intercultural understanding, especially given the many
existing misconceptions about Arabs.

Arab Heritage Week incorporates a series of diverse events that are
informative, fun and exciting, including:

Middle Eastern Cooking Night
