Queen Rania of Jordan blogs about meeting Dr. Abed

In her blog on Slate.com, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan wrote about meeting Dr. Abed at the Synergos "University for a Night" event on Tuesday, September 23. Both Queen Rania and Dr. Abed were honored with the David Rockefeller Bridging Leadership Award.

Here is an excerpt from her post:
