I was honored to be invited to give a short 10-minute speech at the closing ceremony of the Graduate Research Forum 2024 at University of Texas A&M at Qatar (TAMUQ). The purpose of the speech was to emphasize how graduate students can contribute to the Palestinian cause with their knowledge and innovation.
While the invitation came in a very tough time (end of the semester!), I couldn’t reject it — how dare one can miss such an opportunity to do something for that cause?!
“Make the Difference” was the title I chose for the speech, and also the message I tried to deliver to the graduate students. Yes, you can make the difference, and be the difference!
I’m grateful to the Graduate Student Association at TAMUQ for inviting me and giving me the chance to share my voice!
I’m sharing the transcript of the speech below, hoping it can benefit a wide range of audience, not just graduate students. Comments, feedback, and sharing are of course welcome.
Here is a link to the speech transcript and video.
