As you embark upon your professional careers, how do the lessons learned at Seeds of Peace inform your ambitions?
Seeds is the entire reason that I am studying international relations, that I have interned with the federal government, and that I hope to continue working on international issues after graduation.
How does your work or education relate to building a more peaceful world?
I'm majoring in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, focusing on international relations and the Middle East. My independent projects junior year were about the UN in Afghanistan and opposition political parties in Egypt, and this year I am writing my senior thesis about the influence of the U.S. presidential election cycle on the U.S.-Israel relationship. After graduation, I am hoping to find a job that will let me continue to work on these issues.
"Seeds of Peace epitomizes the kind of efforts so desperately needed in the Middle East to bring Arabs and Israelis in contact with one another at a personal level."
