The following items are mostly aimed at students. But not entirely. The public would be especially welcome at the evening interfaith panel on 16 October and at Hanan Munayer’s lecture on 17 October. And I doubt that anybody would be turned away who is interested and who wants to show up, except perhaps at the 16 October opening social.

Mainly, I just wanted people from off campus to see the kinds of things that are going on during a not quite typical but not extraordinarily unusual month in the Middle East Studies — Arabic program at Brigham Young University:
