Additionally, we seek to raise awareness of the various disciplines and courses offered by the Department of Arabic and Translation Studies and increase student engagement in the university community. By joining the Arabic Heritage Club, students will have the opportunity to contribute to and celebrate the diverse cultural fabric of our campus.
