Community Outreach

The Middle East Studies Center promotes a critical understanding of the Middle East through engagement with K-12 schools and educators, local and regional community groups, non-governmental organizations, government agencies, media, businesses, and the general public. Drawing on the knowledge, expertise, and experience of the University community, MESC programming reflects the diversity of the region and provides insight into the histories, cultures, languages, religions, politics, and contemporary issues of the Middle East.
