The Arabic Language Institute (ALI) at American Islamic College has hosted two enrichment events as extra curricular activities for its Summer Arabic Intensive, which ran online from June 17 to August 13. The first event was a presentation on Arabic calligraphy by Calligrapher Zeeshan, and the second event was a presentation on Egyptian music in the 20th century, accompanied by solo performance on Oud by Dr. Ashraf Abdel-Rahman, a professor of history of music at the Academy of Arts in Cairo.
