Nice post. American University of Sharjah is an amazing institution with a unique learning environment. UAE students, and students from around the world, work together, setting the foundation for future generations.
Without sounding too cynical, hopefully the new administration will work equally harmoniously.
Lovely post John. American University of Sharjah is something all Sharjawies and UAE folks can be proud off. Thanks to Shaikh Sultan for keeping SHJ's cultural beliefs.
