Ibrahim and Queens College Student Leadership Program in the Middle East
Empower cross cultural, interfaith networks of American student-scholar-activists with a nuanced understanding of the complexities of this strategically vital region that is in the midst of a tumultuous transition; promote students' interaction with a broad spectrum of Middle Eastern cultures and perspectives, particularly in the fields of religious understanding, social entrepreneurialism and conflict transformation to fortify their role as thought leaders and informed actors on the front lines of hope, empathy, and enlightened self interest.
