Other News
Learn a Critical Language at the Middle East Institute this Fall
Semi-intensive evening and weekend classes will be offered in Modern Standard Arabic, Egyptian and
Levantine Spoken Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Hebrew. MEI classes combine the specialized attention
of a small classroom environment with the high-level expertise and experience of our native speaking
instructors. Learning a regional language at MEI also has the added benefit of extracurricular
conversation clubs, cultural events, and a network of language learners like yourself.
For more information, course offerings, placement conversations, and registration, please visit
their website or contact the Department of Language and Regional Studies at 282-785-2710. Be sure
to register before October 15th for discounted registration.
iTrek Public Policy Trip to Israel
Israel & Co offers trips to motivated and organized graduate students with an interest in peacebuilding.
This is an opportunity for a fully-funded 7-10 day trip to Israel with an entire student group, which can be
organized independently or by a professor. By connecting participants with organizations in Israel that
are of interest to them, iTrek is a great experience to meet with leaders in various fields.

information. Students will not receive credit for a trip unless otherwise approved.
