Greetings from Cairo,

I am currently a Presidential Intern at The American University in Cairo (AUC), having graduated from Brown with a Middle East Studies concentration in May 2016. We are now in the process of recruiting applicants for the 2017-2018 program and would greatly appreciate if you could distribute this information to current seniors, advisers, and department heads who may have students interested in the program.

Additionally, I would welcome the opportunity to personally speak with any student interested in the program. Please feel free to pass my contact information along. There are currently two Brown Graduates in this program, and we would love to recruit more for next year!
