About 40 students at the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait (above) enjoy a discussion session across the globe with Tulane faculty member Calvin Mackie. The session, designed to inform the students about university life in the United States, was held on Tuesday (Nov. 21). Answering the long-distance questions from the Kuwaiti students were Mackie, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and a group of Tulane students.
