Roya Aghavali is a senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Anthropology.
“I believe that the CMES student advisory committee is a very important and necessary bridge between the center and students on campus to make students aware of the programs and services provided by the center, so that they have the opportunity to interact with Middle Eastern Studies outside of their departments. During my last semester at UC Berkeley, I wanted to be a part of this wonderful center helping to bring awareness of the issues people are facing in the Middle East along with the strength of the people from the Middle East and the beauty of the Middle East. I also want to bring awareness to the opportunities that the CMES has to offer to the student body, especially to those who are struggling to find representation on campus.”
