This spring, Amideast staff handled an unprecedented challenge: ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of international students in the face of a global pandemic.
As the university courses for the 578 students in the U.S.-Egypt HEI Public University Scholarships program moved online, Amideast adjusted to providing student support services remotely and virtual training and activities.
For 30 Egyptian students whose scheduled summer study abroad program in the United States was upended by the pandemic, Amideast arranged a five-week virtual academic exchange program with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL).
