Dr. Lana Shehadeh, Director of International and Academic Relations at the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the Arab American University, has visited Shenandoah University in the US state of Virginia and met with the university’s president, Dr. Tracy Fitzsimmons.

The visit revolved around examining opportunities to expand academic and research cooperation at various levels between the two universities, as the university had previously signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening cooperative efforts and strengthening the international partnership between the two universities.

During the visit, Dr. Shehadeh gave a speech in which she addressed the reality of life in Palestine, especially in light of the events facing the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which are reflected in the economic and social reality.
