On December 1, the NYUAD community gathered at the University's Downtown Campus — brightly illuminated in red, green, and purple for the occasion — to celebrate the UAE's 40th National Day. Students, faculty, and staff enjoyed traditional Emirati cuisine, visited with NYUAD sophomore Ahmed Al Masaood's falcon, got henna, listened to poetry, and watched traditional dancers. The festivities continued throughout the capital over the weekend.
