Fulton Schools biomedical engineering graduate student Wid Alsabah and electrical engineering student Namir Sabuwala are among Arab students getting an educational experience at ASU not only in their studies, but also in navigating the social nuances of cultural identity. Both are Arab Muslims — Alsabah is president of ASU’s Muslim Students Association — who make up a very small percentage of the population in Arizona. They, along with a fellow ASU student and Arab Muslim, who is an intern in the office of Tempe’s mayor, say their circumstances are encouraging them to learn about relationship building and creating connections to address potential social and cultural barriers.
