Iraqi students reunite in Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 26, 2010 - 6:19am

Summer is the season for family reunions and, in early July, a close-knit group whose members didn't know each other two years ago got together for one of their own.

Twelve Iraqi college students, now studying in the United States as part of the Iraqi Student Project (ISP), reunited for several days in Bluffton, Ohio. Housed in Bluffton University's Neufeld Hall, they spent time with families of the support group for one of their own-Shahad Aldoori, an interior design student at Bluffton-and took a trip to Cedar Point.
