Doha: Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) is welcoming the largest Class of 2020 it has enrolled since establishing a campus in Doha with a week-long orientation session.
The session will conclude with a convocation address titled ‘How Do You Want to Be Remembered?’ by Ellis Cose, author, journalist, commentator and educator of distinction.
“His visit is fortuitous for us, not only to help launch our latest class with a presentation, but also by dint of his knowledge and intelligence on matters of class and race at time of great upheaval in the US and wider world.
“I can’t think of a better way to open the academic semester,” said Everette E. Dennis, Dean and CEO.
“As we prepare to move into our new building in Education City, we are better positioned to welcome additional students.
“Our new home will be a setting where the ever-changing nature of media can be dissected, studied and understood. And, it will set a new standard for what a communications and media school can be — a place where students, faculty and staff can explore communication’s past, present and future.”
Ellis Cose, author, journalist, commentator and educator, will deliver the convocation address.
