Noor Oweis ’11
U.S. Diplomat
Globalization Studies Major & Peace and Justice Studies Minor
Being a Peace and Justice Studies minor created opportunities for me to expand my interdisciplinary approach to Globalization Studies and my overall educational experience at Gettysburg College. Working as a management consultant and later as a diplomat, the skills and knowledge I gained as a Peace and Justice Studies minor helped to prepare me for my career. Serving as a Consular Officer in Taiwan, it is an important part of my job to think critically and broadly about the issues people face around the world. Peace and Justice Studies allowed me to pursue my passions and deepen my understanding of global issues, and, most importantly, gave me the tools and resources to find a career rooted in peacebuilding and service.
