Students:
Mediterranean Club
The Mediterranean Club was created by the Fares
Center and is managed by students of The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
who harbor a particular interest in organizing
activities related to the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Since 2002, sustained programming has helped to bring
the history, politics, culture, and society of the
region to the attention of Fletcher students. The
student group organizes roundtables, film series, and
cultural events. In particular, Med Night evenings showcase
the culinary, musical, dance, and literary traditions of
the region through feature performances by students.
