    MAGNA CUM LAUDE!

    The University of Georgia-Tunisia Educational Partnership, directed by Dr Takoi Hamrita (our 2007 Ibn Khaldun Award honoree), has been selected to receive the Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education from the Institute of International Education, the world's most pre-eminent global higher education and professional exchange organization.

    The annual award honors innovative new models in internationalization and recognizes their success in removing institutional barriers to international study and broadening the base of participation in the international elements of teaching and learning on campus.

    I had the chance to attend the Arab Technology Forum (hosted by Techwadi on January 15 through the 17, 2008) and meet a few Arab entrepreneurs and leaders in the Tech industry. Techwadi is the leading networking association for Arab American professionals in the Technology industry and is led by the very ambitious Tunisian Ghazi Benothman.
