My students at the American Language Center Rabat presented their research showcase about Modern United States History: Through the Decades! Teaching US History and organizing this event has been the greatest joy of my Fulbright experience thus far. It was amazing for these wonderful students to have a space to share what they have learned with their families, friends, and other special guests. I would like to thank Dr. Karim Bejjit for being our guest speaker, talking about Moroccan-US Relations over the centuries. II would also like to thank Rihane Zoubairi and Michael McMillan for getting this event organized and supporting the idea from the beginning. What a great event, and what a great turnout for the students to experience.
The views of the students expressed in these presentations may or may not reflect my own.
