In an interview, Middle East Studies graduate Tess Kolker spoke highly of Tarek Ziadna, a 2018 ACS PhD graduate:
“Tarek Ziadna, my Arabic TA during my second year of Arabic, was definitely my favorite instructor. He was always supportive, kind, and encouraging even when it was clear that learning languages did not come easily to me. He also shared bits and pieces about his culture and life in Algeria which I always enjoyed. Tarek took our class to Med Cafe on State Street to celebrate the end of our year together – a meal I will never forget!”
