We partner frequently with the other area studies centers on campus. In June 2006, the Middle East Center, Center for East Asian Studies, South Asia Center, and Africa Studies Center held a week long summer institute for middle and high school teachers, “Teaching about Islam Across the Continents: Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.” Featuring pedagogical and content experts on all regions, this highly competitive institute included educators from public and private, suburban and urban schools and even home school teachers from New Jersey and the Delaware Valley.
