Welcome

 

On behalf of the faculty and staff of CMES, I would like to welcome you to our community.  Through our academic, research, and outreach programs and events, CMES fosters understanding of historical and contemporary Middle Eastern and Islamic societies and cultures.  We hope to see you at our events and that you will find CMES a lasting resource in the future.
