Dana Agmon came to the CUNY Baccalaureate Program with diverse life experiences. The member of a distinguished Israeli family, her great-grandfather was the leading rabbi in Morocco. She served as a first lieutenant in the Israeli Defense Force and is the founder of The Conspiracy of Hope, an organization that seeks solutions for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. She was recently accepted to Yale University’s joint MA/JD program in foreign relations and to the University of Chicago. “I found my interest in international affairs and politics fairly quickly when I took a course in Global Perspectives with Professor Chudi Uwarurike at City College,” she said. She noted that the CUNY BA Program exposed her to a wide range of academic environments. “While CCNY is my home college, I was able to take courses at Hunter, the CUNY Graduate Center and the New School,” she said. Last summer she conducted research in the Middle East on the impact of generational differences on the relationship between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, as well as on the peace process. Her faculty mentor is Professor Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner of CCNY’s Political Science Department. Agmon received her CUNY BA in June 2005 and is currently attending the University of Chicago.
