The Middle East Forum is an initiative of the Middle East Project Fund, the UNO Schwalb Center for Israel & Jewish Studies and the UNO Islamic Studies Program. The Forum is held three times per semester where a panel of experts discusses current events in the Middle East. We encourage students, faculty and community members to bring their questions about the Middle East for an open and fascinating dialogue.
