Allegheny College is interested in creating a new Experiential Learning (EL) Seminar that
focuses on the Middle East and North Africa, and is co-taught by faculty members from Allegheny and an Alliance institution
in the region. More broadly, Allegheny wishes to establish more EL Seminar opportunities outside Europe and North America, and
collaborate with other Alliance institutions towards this end. EL Seminars typically last for three weeks after graduation
(the final two weeks of May and the first week of June) and preparation for these Seminars occurs during the preceding year.

efforts aimed at providing staff members and administrators who interact with students in myriad ways outside the classroom
with meaningful international experiences.
