Four of the nine Georgetown students awarded Fulbright research grants for 2004-05 were MAASers, and an additional awardee graduated from MAAS in 2003. Kelly Al-Dakkak (2003) has accepted a Fulbright fellowship to the United Arab Emirates, where she will be researching and studying Islamic finance at the Department of Shari’a in the University of Sharjah. Kelly is also training for the December Honolulu Marathon, to benefit DC’s Whitman Walker Clinic. Nicholas Reith (2004), who completed his MAAS degree requirements in July with the presentation of his MA thesis on “The Bush Administration in the Middle East: Why is Soft Power so Hard?” is in Damascus studying Arabic and the works of Syrian
short-story writer Zakariyya Tamer. Charles Kiamie (2004) is researching center-
periphery dynamics in Jordan as part of his doctoral research for Georgetown’s Government Department. And joint BSFS/MAAS candidate Shadi Hamid (2006) is also in Jordan, focusing on democratization efforts following a summer spent on Capitol Hill as a Rosenthal Fellow working in the office of Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). Shannon McNulty (2004) regretfully declined a Fulbright, having already accepted a position with Texas A&M University, Qatar campus, where she is now working in the Student Affairs department.
Congratulations to the eight MAAS students who have been awarded academic year Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships, partially funded by the US Department of Education Title VI grant, for 2004-05: Shereen Abdel-NabiNora Achrati, Ariel Ahram, Brendan Geary, Aja Maddux, Corinne Quinones, Robert Ricks, and Rami Turayhi.
