Emerson
Elementary School.

The
Center's outreach programs are directed at local, state,
regional, and national audiences. The Center's speakers
bureau, composed of OSU Middle East experts, annually
delivers over fifty public talks to various community
groups primarily in Ohio and adjacent states. A Summer
Institute on Middle Eastern Cultures sponsored by the
Center is similarily aimed at secondary school educators
in the
Midwest. Institute participants are required to produce
a teaching unit for use in a Social Studies classroom
setting.
Another
important outreach activity is the Summer Insitute
in Persian and Turkish. Sponsored by the member insitutions
of the Eastern Consortium in Persian and Turkish (Columbia,
Georgetown, Harvard, Michigan, New York, Ohio State, Princeton
and Pennsylvania) and in cooperation with OSU's College
of Humanities, the Institute offers intensive language
training in introductory and intermediate Persian and
Turkish.
