Qatar Trip

After fall semester classes finished, fourteen Patterson students were sponsored by the Embassy of Qatar for a week-long educational tour of Qatar from December 14th to the 21st. Highlights included attendance at the Doha Forum on December 15th and 16th, meeting with a Patterson graduate at the U.S. Embassy in Doha, a visit with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government offices, a trip to Al Jazeera, and a lecture at Qatar University. Students were also lucky to observe the Qatar National Day parade and celebration, and to enjoy cultural excursions including a visit to the Katara Cultural Village and a tour of the Museum of Islamic Art.
