REGISTRATION IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! Please visit columbiaturath.organd visit the “Ivy Arab” tab to register for this year’s conference!

======================

Ahlan! Turath, the Arab Students Association of Columbia University, proudly invites you to attend its second annual Ivy Arab Conference.

As part of last year’s pioneering conference, we tackled issues relevant to young Arabs and Arab-Americans living in the modern age while hearing from successful Arab professionals and engaging in discussion with our peers to foster a stronger sense of fellowship within the Arab collegiate community. This year we hope to further our mission and make the conference an even greater success the second time around.

The Ivy Arab Conference is scheduled for April 10-12, 2015. This event is open to students from all universities. We will happily provide student hosting accommodations for the weekend if needed. More information will be updated on the page as plans are finalized–stay tuned! Feel free to direct any and all questions to our conference coordinator, Shiraz Belblidia at sab2242@barnard.edu.

**Please note: no one will be turned away for lack of financial resources. If you are interested in attending the event but cannot afford to purchase a ticket and need financial assistance, please email our conference coordinator.
