- Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
- Place: Sterling B343
- Abstract: We have decided to change the focus of our event for this Friday. Instead of an Arab American Heritage Month event, we will instead spend time to discuss everything that has been happening recently to International students all over the country. This will be followed up with a presentation on Arab scientists who have made contributions to physics over the years. We will then spend the last half of the event with fun community building activities and board games. We will still be catering desserts from Taza Mediterranean. The General Meeting will take place at the same time and location as our previously planned event: Sterling B343 at 1 PM on Friday (4/11). We hope that you'll be able to join us!
