Arabic Lecturer Farida Badr developed the idea and organized this event held December 1st, 2016, to showcase Arabic students’ facility and artistry with the Arabic script. Around eleven current and former students in Asian Studies’ Arabic classes participated in this event, most of them as competitors. Winners were selected from the first- and second-year levels of Arabic, and these included Anna Kathryn (first-year) and Deanna Fayed (second-year), pictured below with their winning calligraphy.
