Get Involved

Students at Florida State University have several ways to get involved through the Arabic program in the Department of Modern Languages, its affiliated Middle East Center, and student-led organizations.


Arabic Division Outreach Program

The aim of the Arabic Outreach Program is to reach out to local elementary and middle schools in order to host educational presentations and activities dedicated to teaching students about cultural diversity in the Middle East and North Africa. The program also teaches young students the Arabic language as an introduction to a foreign language. The Arabic Outreach Program strives to carry out activities on campus, and within the community, to give the local public a sense of the diversity and humanity of the Middle East and North Africa.
