CSUSB represented at Southern California Arabic Language Teachers Council’s Sixth Annual Cultural Day

Kerolos Morks and Daniel Saenz, both students of Advanced Arabic at Cal State San Bernardino, showcased their artistic and Arabic cultural skills at the Sixth Annual Cultural Day sponsored by the Southern California Arabic Language Teachers Council (SCALTC).

The event on April 21 at Rush Park in Rossmoor was attended by hundreds of educators, students and community members.

Morks recited an Arabic poem that he had composed and Saenz played a traditional musical piece on his guitar. Both performances were well received.
