NIMEP is a collaborative research group studying the Middle East and North Africa. NIMEP is a non-polemical, student think-tank and outreach initiative devoted to exploring progressive solutions to historic and emerging conflicts in the Middle East.
ALLIES will conduct a tabletop tactical simulation, under the supervision of Fletcher Military Fellows and Tufts ROTC Cadets. Students will utilize and learn about squad tactics, how to defend a perimeter, and how to react to adversary troop movements.
As a part of Parents Weekend, IGL Director Abi Williams will be giving a speech about "Preventing Deadly Conflict" in the Granoff Music Center, Distler Performance Hall on Saturday.
The IGL will be hosting an information session and reception this Saturday at 1:30 in Lane Hall room 100. Please join us to learn how we are preparing new generations of critical thinkers for effective and ethical leadership. We will have a panel with representatives from various student groups, such as EPIIC, ALLIES, Oslo Scholars, and Tufts International Development (TID), who will be sharing their experiences and answering any questions.
The international symposium is an annual public forum designed and enacted by EPIIC students. It features international practitioners, academics, public intellectuals, activists and journalists who come to Tufts each year for four days of discussion and debate in panels and small-group discussions determined by students in the EPIIC course. Students who conduct research projects also have the opportunity to present alongside the invited experts.
