The Northeast Ohio Consortium for Middle East Studies received the Niagara Peace and Dialogue Education Award for 2015. The Niagara Peace and Dialogue Awards recognize individuals and groups who have contributed time, energy, leadership and dedication to the cause of dialogue, peace, education, community service, tolerance and mutual understanding in the Greater Cleveland Area.
Case Western Reserve University is one of the community partners of the Northeast Ohio Consortium for Middle East Studies, which is made up of many area universities and community organizations.
Pete Moore, the Marcus A. Hanna Associate Professor of Political Science; Ramez Islambouli, lecturer of Arabic; and John Grabowski, the Krieger-Mueller Joint Professor in History, are Case Western Reserve University’s associated faculty members for the consortium.
