On Wednesday, October 17, 2012, the Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar (VCUQatar) Writing Center celebrated the National Day on Writing for the second year in a row.

Everyone at VCUQatar (students, faculty, and staff) was invited to write a note to Her Highness Sheikah Mozah, telling Her Highness how her dream of creating Education City has changed their lives and thanking her.  Participants were also welcome to write a note of any kind to anyone of their choosing.  Cards written to Her Highness will be delivered in a special box with a cover letter from the Dean.

Refreshments were available throughout the day.  Additionally, the video “Writing Across Borders” ran in a continuous loop for participants to view.  The VCUQatar Writing Center staff hopes to continue this as an annual tradition.
