End of Semester
It’s the end of the school year, and the whirlwind of events hosted by the Project Nur chapters throughout the east coast. We hosted our first annual Project Nur National Student Leadership Conference, which bought together a diverse group of students and empowered them with needed tools for activism and leadership. Exciting workshops were presented by the United States Institute of Peace, 20,000 Dialogues, Americans for Informed Democracy, and Campus Progress. Find out more here.
On behalf of Project Nur, we would like to thank you all for your commitment to events planning and hosting. Also we would like to extend our gratitude to all our students and advisors who attended and participated in our events. We would have not done it without YOU!
Congratulations to all the graduating students! Please keep us posted about your future plans, and drop us a line when you’re in town. We would love to see you!
Enjoy your summer, and see you all in Fall 2008!
