Newhouse Junior Aims for Career in Refugee Policy Advocacy

Yasmin Nayrouz is a junior, studying public relations in the Newhouse School and English in the College of Arts and Sciences.

This October, she received the Voyager Scholarship from the Obama Foundation, awarded to students who bridge divides and work to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges.

Inspired by misconceptions surrounding migration, she’s currently working toward a career in policy advocacy for refugees and displaced families.
