Letter from the Crisis Director:

Hi! I am a Sophomore studying International Studies, Political Science, and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, with a certificate in Global Service focused on the environment. I currently am in the Arabic Flagship, the Arnolt Center for Investigative Journalism, and have engaged in multiple environmental internships within my time at IU. I enjoy watching documentaries, exploring internet rabbit holes, and dabbling in some video games in my free time.

This year, I am the Crisis Director for the White House crisis committee, which will focus on the so-very-professional operations of the most famous house in America. It will address the property's many beloved staff, their relations with one another, and how the President intends to run the place. The question is: How can employees pursue their dreams while avoiding being the scapegoat every day? I've got no clue, but I'm looking forward to having an engaging, rather silly, and eye-opening experience in our committee!
