As Bob Marley would say, "Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright."

Many AUCians would not relate to this quote nowadays; simply because they are worried about their mid­terms, thesis papers and project submissions.

Saturday, November 24th, 2012
Chaos erupted, people argued, designers disappeared, and some of the audience had already left before the show even started. The first Cairo Fashion Festival was about to get off to a shaky start.

People dressed in style and didn't miss the opportunity of arriving fash­ionably late. The catwalk, which was supposed to have started at 7 PM, began half an hour later.

Khairy came home with a silver medal for the 74kg category in the African Championship, as well as a gold medal in the African Team Cup. El Shimi, on the other hand, made history by being the first female on her team to take home a gold medal for 46kg in the African Championship.

Saturday, November 24th, 2012

In every new country you visit, there is always a list of not-to-be-missed things to do. The same can be applied to some universities and AUC is no exception. The Caravan asked students what they feel are experiences every AUCian must undergo before graduating.

Freshmen on campus
Freshmen, freshmen everywhere?
Mohamed Adam
Sunday, October 21st, 2012
Loud, playful, irritating, and over-expressive are just some of the ways seniors at AUC's new cam­pus describe the nearly 1.000 fresh­men who have come to AUC this fall semester.

Seniors, in line with age-old tra­dition, have always looked down on freshmen for different reasons; some of them justifiable and others based on mythology.

Every person at AUC is a part of a wider community that is inter-de­pendable. Staff workers and clean­ers are an integral part of the sys­tem, but how familiar are students with their daily lives?

Nesma Mohamed, for example, started to work at the dorms when she was 19, and for the past five years has followed the same sched­ule, making her way to work at 6am.

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Cairo, a city that is over 1,000 years old, was originally developed in the late 19th century to be home to a maximum of six million inhabitants. Since then it has undergone numerous development and expansion projects becoming Greater Cairo, the 16th largest city in the world with a population of 18-22 million.

But as development projects focus outward with the establishment of new cities, there is a concern that downtown Cairo may be overlooked.

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

More than 50 million Egyptians will be able to vote for a new president in a matter of days.

The election could be the most pivotal in Egypt's contemporary history as it is the first following the populist revolt which unseated former President Hosni Mubarak and his political clique.

But it also comes at a time of upheaval, political chaos, conspiracy theories and violence that continues to cost lives.

Some media pundits, such as Mona El Shazly, have wondered whether the election could be held as scheduled.

"One of Us" was perhaps the first to emerge as the slogan of leftist candidate, Hamdeen Sabbahy.

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

A growing number of Egyptians are playing it safe, preferring to wait until after the presidential elections to decide whether to invest in local markets.

For 30 years, AUC has hosted Egyptian antiquities from different eras of history, yet most students, faculty and staff have never seen them or even knew about them.
