Gulf Studies Awards its Third Certificate

Gulf Studies Program Director Dr. Marjorie Kelly presented Robert Donahue, an anthropology major at George Mason University in the U.S., with AUK's Gulf Studies Certificate for completing a minimum of 12 hours of courses on the region. Mr. Donahue is the third recipient of the certificate and has been in Kuwait since last fall. He is the first student to attend AUK through the new AMIDEAST program which brings Americans to the Middle East to improve their Arabic and to learn about Arab history, politics, and culture. He has traveled throughout the region during his year at AUK and accompanied several AUK faculty members this spring on trips to Qatar and Syria.
