My name is Ahmed El Solh.

I graduated from Cleveland State with an MBA in 2015.

I am currently an international business development specialist for Baylor College of Medicine.

I'm originally from Lebanon.

I was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates,

and Cleveland State got my attention because I've been coming to Cleveland for a really long time,

and I wanted to come back home to Cleveland State

when it was time for me to go to college abroad from the UAE.

So, I chose Cleveland because of how accessible and easy the city is,

but also for how well recognized Cleveland State is,

and again the various programs that they had to offer.

After just a short period of time of moving to Cleveland,

I really felt like I was home and Cleveland State was a big factor in making me feel welcome in Cleveland.

My name is Isam Muntaser.

I went to Cleveland State for my undergrad.

I got a business degree with a focus in international business.

I graduated in 2013.

I'm currently at the law school here.

The Arabic community at Cleveland State is pretty big.

I could comfortably say that most of my friends in undergrad were Arabic.

And you meet so many people,

because if you have one friend they'll introduce you to another friend.

Faculty and the teachers and professors, here, they're all good.

If you need help, they were always helpful.

Counseling, the counseling advisors, were always helpful.

I feel like I got a great education.

And all my friends that graduated from undergrad are working now with their degree.

So what more do you want?

My name is Maya Eadah.

I'm currently a student at Cleveland State.

I'm studying political science and international relations.

We have a great Arabic program here with great professors that are always willing to help the Arab students.

There's different clubs like the Arab Student Union,

there's the Muslim Student Association,

there's a Lebanese student organization.

And through all those I actually met so many different people.

And it's nice studying with people from the same background as you,

and you make a lot of new friends doing so here.

Everywhere you look there's an Arabic store,

there's Arabic restaurants,

there's a lot of Arab influence in Cleveland in general.

So I feel like they'll never feel left out.

They'll always meet somebody of their culture.

I'm Jad El Solh.

Born and raised in the United Arab Emirates. I'm Lebanese.

Moved to Cleveland in 2011 for the civil engineering program and graduated from here in 2015.

It's hard to leave your country, leave your culture and then just go somewhere,

especially if you're on your own without family members.

The biggest part that helped me is I didn't feel like I was away,

and I felt fine with meeting new people and being in the small community I'm in.

My name is Wisal Alazri.

I'm 21 years old. I'm a double major student here at Cleveland State University.

I came here in 2015 and I love it here.

I decided to study in the United States

because I heard about good things about the people here.

They're very open, they're very friendly, so I feel at home here at Cleveland State University,

because of how diverse it is, because of how many Arabs are here. So I don't feel like I'm a stranger.

My favorite experience in the city was the festivals here,

especially the Winter festivals.

It's so amazing to see the concerts, and then you see the people just coming out of nowhere.

And the things they have here on the streets, it's amazing.

U.S. Secretary of State sees some pathway to North Korea talks - Duration: 1:40.

Trump Administration is satisfied that North Korea hasn't conducted any missile tests since

the sanctions were imposed on the regime in the beginning of this month.

Whether Washington and Pyongyang will sit down to talk in the near future is still unclear.

Cha Sang-mi reports.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday told reporters at the State Department that

he is "pleased" with no recent provocative acts from North Korea.

North Korea hasn't conducted any "missile launches or provocative acts" since the UN

Security Council voted on stronger sanctions against the regime on August 5th.

It is quiet unprecedented for North Korea to stay put after new sanctions were imposed

on them.

(English Reuters) "I am pleased to see that the regime in Pyongyang

has certainly demonstrated some level of restraint that we have not seen in the past"

Tillerson's conciliatory remarks hints at a "pathway" to peace talks with North Korea

some time soon.

(English Reuters) "We hope that this is the beginning of this

signal that we've been looking for - that they are ready to restrain their level of

tensions, they're ready to restrain their provocative acts, and that perhaps we are

seeing our pathway to sometime in the near future having some dialogue,"

Tillerson cautioned, however, that Washington cannot put their guards down until they "see

more on their part".

He still celebrated that the past efforts they have taken this far.

Washington-Pyongyang dialogue comes up to surface as more friendly remarks are made

from the Trump administration after tensions were heightened in the beginning of August

with war of words about the missile threats posed to Guam.
