Foreign Language Department offers a taste of Morocco


USFSP Foreign Language Department Professor Raja Benchekroun hosted a Moroccan luncheon at Harbor Hall on Wednesday, March 21, during International Week.

Students tasted an authentic Moroccan meal, and listened to presentations by Benchekroun and her Arabic I and II students. Benchekroun reflected on her time spent in Morocco, and addressed misconceptions about Arab culture.

Students interested in learning Arabic can contact Benchekroun at rbenchekroun@mail.usf.edu.
