Greetings and salam UMMA members,

I hope your school year has gotten off to a good start and that you've had a refreshing Winter break.

Here are some details about the program, which will be taking place from February 12-14, 2015.

For more information, or if you have questions or concerns, please respond by January 30th, 2015 to Faraaz Saiduzzaman, our Islamic World Studies Student Liaison, at fsaidu...@gmail.com.

Established in 1983, Model Arab League (MAL) is the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations’ flagship student leadership development program. The Models are similar in organization and format to the older and more widely recognized Model United Nations (MUN), with its 193 member states. An important difference between the two is that the MAL focuses only on the 22 member states that comprise the League of Arab States. Established in February 1945, and thereby pre-dating the founding of the United Nations, the Arab League is the world’s oldest regional political organization dedicated to, among other things, the diplomatic and peaceful settlement of disputes.
