Dear MES Forum,

The Columbus Council on World Affairs hosts an annual summit for high school students for their Global Scholars Diploma Program. Do you know someone who might be able to share first-hand knowledge of a Middle Eastern culture? Please help MESC find them ambassadors – we want to make sure our region is well-represented. The next opportunity to present is next Thursday, Sept 26th
