MENA Survey help needed!!!
An Arab decent student from Vassar College is currently writing his senior thesis on the experiences of Middle Eastern and North African college students.
He is interested in your response because: "very little research has been done on American students of Middle Eastern andNorth African descent, and I aim to change that with my thesis. I am specifically interested in learning about experiences with race at predominantly-white institutions and how these experiences relate to living in the post-9/11 world. As the child of an Egyptian immigrant, this research is incredibly important to me and I would greatly appreciate your responses.If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc., please contact me at [email protected]"
