Bryan Griffin, 2017 Gabr Fellow

“Thanks to the Gabr Fellowship, I can speak with first-hand knowledge about policy and society in the Middle East. As a specialist in American foreign policy, this has been incredibly important to building both personal knowledge and a capacity for mutual understanding that is necessary to good policymaking. It has also allowed me to maintain a network of real relationships from the fellowship in Egypt who have turned out to be meaningful and lasting friends who regularly provide an important perspective on world affairs.”
