| dc.description.abstract | Before the disintegration of relations between the United States and Iran in 1979, the two countries enjoyed diplomatic relations for more than a century. After decades of estrangement, negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program brought the two countries to the same table, initiating a potential channel of communication and diplomacy. The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) helped secure the historic U.S.-Iran deal and is continuing efforts to sustain the landmark agreement to prevent war and nuclear proliferation. Romila Hussaini spent her summer in Washington D.C. interning with the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). As both a development and foreign policy intern at NIAC, she gained experience in fundraising, philanthropy, international affairs, Iranian-American issues, and the day-to-day operations of a non-profit organization. This experience made Romila passionate about U.S.-Iran relations, which sparked her interest in pursuing a career in diplomacy. She is eager to share this passion with you through this presentation. | |
| dc.description.panabstract | In an increasingly globalized world, international affairs affect all of us in one way or another and shape the environment in which we live. This past summer, each of us worked for international NGOs and nonprofit organizations, working on a myriad of projects concerning different parts of the world. Our experiences include researching the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, working with the United Nations, researching Iran’s foreign policies, and working in the international development sector by providing support for elections in new and emerging democracies. Our panel will capture the range of experiences we went through as we tried to better the world from New York City and Washington D.C. Collectively, we gained valuable research experience as well as insights into the inner workings of international organizations and the realities of the world in which we live. | |
