It is open to WSU faculty, staff and students from 12:30-1:15 p.m. Wednesdays in 210 McKnight Art Center. A presentation will be made by Abdulaziz Abdulaziz on Saudi Arabia Wednesday, Oct. 26.

In celebration of International Education Week Nov. 14-18, there will be a CAP presentation every day at 12:30 p.m. in the Fireplace Lounge, first floor of the Rhatigan Student Center, with the exception of the Wednesday talk, Nov. 16, which will take place in 210 McKnight Art Center.

CAP is a scholarship program for 14 international students from various regions of the world who provide cultural and community service each school year in order to bring global cultural awareness to the classroom and the community and to learn about American culture and Wichita, in return.
