Alexandra Tolhurst

I'm a Criminology/International Relations double major with a minor in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (Concentration in Arabic and Islamic Societies) at the best Ivy League out there! I'm active in our schools chapters of Questbridge (helping low-income minorities go to college) and PIPAC (Israeli affairs.) I'm also a cadet in the Army ROTC program. Upon graduation, I plan to continue in the Army and work for the government in areas of Intelligence and Counterterrorism. I want to write for the Odyssey because I have so many views that may be considered "different" and I want those to be heard! Also, we live in a world where things are constantly changing - to have the freedom to talk about what is extremely important right now and not have to stick to that topic each week is extremely important to me and allows me to stay tuned in to all the issues in life and my communities.
