Education Under Fire tells the story of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE), a community-run initiative in Iran that serves young Baha'is who are barred from university because of their religious beliefs. Following the presentation will be a facilitated discussion by Laleh Vahdat and Sundra Moyyad, members of the Baha'i Faith, and Michigan Tech Professor Saeid Nooshabadi.
This event is sponsored by IPS and Nooshabadi. For more information, contact CDI at 487-2920. For information about upcoming diversity-related events, email Renee Wells at rrwells@mtu.edu.
