I recently started my internship with One Day Seyoum, a youth-led organization dedicated to ending human rights abuses and securing the freedom of political prisoners, such as Ciham Ali Abdu and Seyoum Tsehaye. Ciham Ali Abdu is an Eritrean-American girl imprisoned since the age of fifteen for her father’s dissent against the regime, effectively in disappearing incommunicado detention.

Almost one in every five Tufts students attends a graduate school as a part of their post-graduation plans. On June 6th, the Tufts Institute for Global Leadership held a webinar on “Making the Decision of When and Where” featuring four alumnae sharing what they see as the value of going, or not going, to grad schools.

The campus is quiet. The IGL has not had its doors open in over a month, since March 16. In its 34-year history, this is unique for the Institute. On February 28, the IGL hosted an event for more than 200 people with Boston Celtics Center Enes Kanter and on March 13, we were saying goodbye to our students as the campus closed and prepared to move online.
