In case you’re interested, there was a short story about the new AUC (American University in Cairo) campus on NPR yesterday. You can read/listen to it, and see pictures, by clicking here. The university also has a regularly updated website with lots of pictures, that you can see here.

It really is a beautiful and architecturally stunning campus, and I look forward to working there. Many of my colleagues are pessimistic about the prospects of the campus actually being ready by the start of the new school year in September, but I’m hopeful. The exteriors will definitely be done — I just hope we’ll have the little things…like electricity, water, internet, desks, etc.
