CMES is delighted to announce that beginning in June 2014 it will serve as the new host of the Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA). CASA is a year-long intensive advanced level Arabic program held at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. (Due to recent political events in Egypt, the program has been temporarily relocated to the Qasid Arabic Institute in Amman, Jordan for the current academic year.) CASA is represented by a consortium of thirty-five universities and colleges in the U.S., and is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Nevenka Korica Sullivan, senior preceptor in Arabic in the Department of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations at Harvard, will serve as the program’s new stateside Director. Nevenka Korica Sullivan has been teaching Arabic at Harvard since 2010. Prior to joining the Arabic teaching faculty at Harvard, she served as Executive Director of the CASA program in Cairo, from 2006 to 2010.
