Intercultural Communication Saudi Arabia to USA
Fall semester 2012 Hope College students in Holland, Michigan, USA joined with Effat University students in Jeddah, Saudia Arabia to study Intercultural Communication. Professors Mohammad Khan and Deirdre Johnston met in Athens, Greece in June of 2012 to plan course content and assignments, at the meeting of the Global Liberal Arts Alliance, organized by the Great Lakes College Association.
