Medinah, Saudia Arabia senior Abbas Alsabah plays the traditional Middle Eastern instrument, the qanun, and has continued studying the art while attending WKU by taking lessons from an overseas instructor. Funding from the Saudi Arabian government has encouraged significant growth in Saudi student population in Bowling Green and the fostering of international cultural arts. For example, Alsabah has been joined at WKU by several of his cousins, several of whom are also interested in traditional music. Photo by Leanora Benkato/ WKU HERALD
