 ****

Every year, the Arab Students' Organization at MIT organizes the MIT ASO
Science and Technology Awards Banquet to recognize outstanding Arab and
Arab-American contributions to science and technology. The ceremony draws
over 150 members of the Arab and Arab-American communities to celebrate the
career-long accomplishments of the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.

This is a great opportunity to be recognized by the Arab and Arab-American
community not only in the Boston area, but nationwide. The success of
previous ceremonies is a testimony to how award winners and nominees attain
a great deal of recognition from the Arab and Arab-American community and
beyond.****
