MAGIS Candidates, 2008 - 2010


Ekhlas SalamaEkhlas Salama

Growing up on a farm in the central valley of California, Ekhlas was desperate to leave the small town life and venture out to the city. Thus, she traveled the four hours away from home to earn her B.A. in International Development Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. She focused on conflict issues within the Middle-East, particularly the Palestine-Israel conflict.
 
During her time at UCLA, Ekhlas was fortunate enough to do study, research, and volunteer abroad through programs in Eastern Europe, Central America, and the Middle-East. Her experiences abroad have sparked a deep interest within herself to actively partake in the global society.
 
Within the MAGIS program, Ekhlas wants to continue her focus on the Palestine-Israel conflict; taking a more critical look on the societal role of Arabs within Israel. She would like to more closely examine the discriminatory jurisdictions of the Israeli government towards Arabs and the effect on the Arab population within Israel. When not studying, Ekhlas enjoys playing soccer, going to the gym, and planning her next global adventure!
