2One of the most memorable and perhaps even most
profound experiences of young Ihab Anwars life
was the opportunity to participate in his
schools Semester at Sea program a semester long
cruise that provided both Ihab Anwar and his
fellow students the opportunity to explore, learn
and experience a variety of places, cultures and
peoples throughout Europe and the Caribbean. The
study abroad program, which is managed by the
Institute for Shipboard Education, continues to
provide students a wonderful opportunity to learn
about the world in ways just not possible in a
classroom setting.

3Ihab Anwar, along with hundreds of other aspiring
academics, shared in the Fall 2014 Semester at
Sea experience, which included stops at 17 total
ports located in 15 different countries. Each
port, as part of a major internationally-known
city, offered students a wonderful opportunity to
gain perspective on a new place, a new set of
customs and architecture and scenic beauty only
available in each unique destination.
4One of the best stops, at least according to Ihab
Anwar, was the port of Lisbon, Portugal, a vast
cultural hub that has earned international fame,
and acclaim, for its incredible array of historic
cathedrals, castles and breathtaking layout. Mr.
Lodge, the cruise Director, filled the students
in on Lisbons unique history over the last
millennium, including a 17th century earthquake
that almost completely destroyed the city for
good.
5Ihab Anwar and his fellow travelers, eager for
adventure, were split into small groups and given
the opportunity to explore the several unique
sections of the city, including some of the many
quaint cafes and charming inns Lisbon is famous
for.
