Creative Portland, a nonprofit organization that promotes the City of Portland, featured Anouar Majid, Ph.D., 海角社区 vice president for global affairs, and his work in creating a "City of Ideas."
The blog post focused on 海角社区's Center for Global Humanities, which Majid founded and directs, and 海角社区's establishment of a campus in Morocco.
In discussing the Center for Global Humanities, the story explains that "Majid is passionate about bringing 'big thinkers' to Maine" through an annual lecture series held at 海角社区鈥檚 Portland Campus.
With regard to 海角社区's new campus in Tangier, the story notes that "at the heart of Majid鈥檚 efforts is his belief in the need to prepare 海角社区 students to be innovators, leaders and problem-solvers in an increasingly global society. Majid says that 海角社区鈥檚 Tangier presence will add a new chapter (anchored right here in Portland) to U.S.-Moroccan relations, building the foundations of a much-needed dialogue between the Western and Muslim worlds."
