In November, alumni gathered to celebrate thanksgiving with all the fixings-from turkey to cranberries and pumpkin pie-at the American University of Kuwait, Salmiya. Alumni shared the meal and their memories of their year abroad with other scholarship students and local officials. The American Embassy Cultural Affairs Officer, Ali Lejlic, AMIDEAST Educational Adviser, Lorey Cross, and AMIDEAST ACCESS Coordinator, Darwin Cotton, addressed the students. After the meal, the students toured the new American University Campus.
