January 2016
A group from George Mason University is currently visiting Morocco on their Applied Cross Cultural Psychology program!
GMU attended presentations by Moroccan professors of medicine and pharmacy, and the meetings were internationally recognized in Layali Maghribia Newspaper. They have been visiting the Merzouga desert to see famous Erfoud fossils, climb the sand dunes, ride camels during sunset, and eat a Berber dinner with traditional songs. Next they'll be exploring the cultural and historical sites of Fes, including the Souk, home to the ancient Chouara leather tannery, almost a thousand years old. Follow their travels on our Facebook page!
