Nora Koutoupes Guessous

Nora is a incoming freshman at Harvard University, of Greek and Moroccan heritage. She attended a bilingual high school with an international curriculum, where she realized that the history of the Middle East and North African (MENA) region was seldom covered. In an attempt to satisfy her interest in the area, she became president of the Middle Eastern Society, where she led weekly forums to discuss relevant topics surrounding culture, society, economy, and geopolitics in MENA.

 

Nora launched Speak Middle East (SME), a podcast series, to broaden the discussion beyond her school community.
