Mubarak resigns!
I’m sure you’ve all heard the news, but Hosni Mubarak has finally resigned! Korbel students are filling up the Cyber Cafe (we have a small TV in there) and watching the latest developments on the news. What an incredible day for Egypt!
Here are some stories on Mubarak’s resignation:

Egypt has a special place in my heart– my first human rights paper as an undergraduate at the University of New Mexico was about human rights violations in Egypt under Mubarak’s regime. I took the class, Human Rights and Political Violence, as an elective. It didn’t count towards either of my majors, but it was a Political Science class and sounded interesting– little did I know it would change everything! I loved researching and writing that paper, and it was a major reason that I decided to look into MA degrees in Human Rights. I’m glad I did!
