Teaching in the Middle East Seminar Room
The Middle East Seminar Room can accommodate small classes (12-16 persons) during the academic year, and can be reserved by faculty. Priority is given to faculty who need to make use of the room's resources.
Aside from access to the room's 2,000-volume collection, faculty teaching in the room can arrange to have supplemental materials placed in the room on temporary reserve for the semester. There is a fully-networked computer workstation and a whiteboard is also available for use.
