ELLENSBURG, Wash. - The experiences of a former Peace Corps member, who served as a volunteer in the Middle East, will be discussed at Central Washington University in connection with “International Education Week.” Dr. David Fenner now serves as director of international programs at the University of Washington.

Fenner’s CWU presentation, titled “Life in One Corner of Arabia,” will include slides from Oman, where he lived from 1979 to 1982, illustrating the variety of lifestyles on the Arabian Peninsula. Fenner will also discuss the isolated and unique culture he experienced while living and working with the native population.

His free, public presentation is slated for Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 4 p.m. in Grupe Center on the Ellensburg campus.
