Hello Model Arab League Advisers!
Greetings
from the National Council. We have received wonderful news from our
friends at the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission – we are nearing approval
for the next Student Study Visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia! As many
of you know, these are expense-paid, 10-day, cultural immersion
experiences for students who have participated in the MAL program.
Having escorting a group of MAL alumni to the Kingdom in 2010, I can say
that these study visits are unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime
experiences. You can read about the most recent such study visit in the
Council Chronicle. See page 8: http://www.ncusar.org/cc/
The
dates for this visit would be December 7, 2011-January 7, 2012. A
nominal program fee will be assessed to reduce attrition. Considering
the tight deadline, we must start the selection process now. We are
asking for your personal and professional recommendations for student
participants. This upcoming visit is planned to include both men and
women, the first mixed student delegation the National Council has sent
to the Kingdom since our partnership with the Cultural Mission began two
years ago!
If
any of your student fit the following criteria, please send us their
name, email, phone number, and brief paragraph why you would recommend
them. Each school may recommend two students. Participants must:
1. Be Model Arab League alumni;2. Not graduate before December 2012;
3. Have no previous travel experience to the Arab world;
4. Be in good academic standing;
5. Be good representatives of your institution, the National Council, and the United States.
