Over the next couple of weeks we will feature the perspective of students who participated in this year’s virtual Global Immersion experience.
We start with Journeys 2021 #IslamicArtCulture:
Afnan Mahmud ’24 shared her experience with us:
“I had a great time participating in the workshop throughout the week. We learned the basics of calligraphy, geometric art, and Arabian Coffee! We also cooked CousCous and made hummus from scratch. Not to mention learning illumination art and the basics of belly dancing! The smell of cloves in my kitchen will forever remind me of the people we met and the knowledge we gained from them while having fun! It was a great bonding experience for me. And although it was virtual, Dr. Iqbal tried her best to make peak week special for us and it showed! I am very lucky to have received the appropriate tools to participate in the workshops.”
Thank you for sharing, Afnan! It looks like you had an amazing time.
