Ben Mrad, with the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, was invited by the American Embassy in Tunisia to attend a presentation with Joey Hood, the ambassador to Tunisia at the Tunis Business School at the University of Tunis in Tunisia. The Tunis Business School is a public institution that teaches American business.

“I had the opportunity to attend a presentation about the business school’s curriculum and accreditation, which was both informative and enlightening,” she said.

During her stay, Ben Mrad was able to work closely with Dr. Leila Triki, the dean of the Mediterranean School of Business, as well as the administration and department chairs.

“One of the highlights of my time there was conducting workshops at the school of business with the dedicated faculty members,” she said.

The workshops focused on various aspects of the assurance of learning process, including the development of rubrics, streamlining the process, and collaborative efforts in evaluating assessments to identify areas for improvement.
