The atrium of Tangeman University Center is ripe with cultural information this week. Along with the "Marching Toward Freedom" exhibit, which has been in the atrium for the past month, the Muslim American Society is presenting a series of exhibitions for Muhammad Awareness Week.
Across the country, the society is showing displays, hosting speakers and having open discussions about the prophet Muhammad's life and the lessons he tried to teach the world. At the University of Cincinnati, an educational exhibition is scheduled to be held in the TUC atrium from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day this week.

Each day, the exhibitions have a new focus; covering topics such as Muhammad's view on women's rights, his views on morality and the meaning of jihad. At these expos, students can watch a slideshow of Muhammad's words and explanations of their meanings, have their name written in Arabic, receive pamphlets and books and possibly sample some tasty traditional treats.
