DOHA, QATAR – Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar celebrated 55 participants who successfully completed the eight-week Language Bridges program. A formal ceremony recognizing the achievements of the English language participants was held on campus and attended by faculty, staff, student volunteers and guests.

In collaboration with Qatar Foundation’s Reach Out To Asia (ROTA), Carnegie Mellon students and staff volunteered to teach basic English to Qatar Foundation service staff as part of the program. Language Bridges equips workers with basic English skills enabling them to communicate more effectively in their day to day lives.
