““Roya finished analyzing the statistical analysis of co-existence workshops and
presented it to us. It provides real evidence of effectiveness of the professionally
facilitated workshops that anecdotal data cannot. Roya has an insider’s view of
conflict resolution and human relationships, areas fraught with slippery issues.”

“In the spring of 2008, Roya was selected to be on the Council of Arts, Culture and
Education…she has been an asset to the Council because of her thoughtful reflections of community outreach, diversity, and assessment.”

“It immediately became clear that Roya, with her roots in …the many worlds and I
could be colleagues as we are both deeply involved in intercultural conflict
transformation and peacebuilding work. I developed a deep respect for her
leadership and diplomatic values. Roya’s participation in my workshop…she was
among 21 multiple participants who were of Lebanese, Liberian, Turkish, German,
Syrian, Japanese, American cultures.”

“Roya came to our division from a grant from Temple University, Philadelphia for
“intercambio” intercultural community exchange. She worked with our
university and the surrounding disenfranchised neighborhoods to provide
services. She also taught graduate level courses.”

“Roya has directed our on-campus program, meeting regularly with young
Palestinians, Israelis and bringing addition international and American students into the workshops and discussions. She takes an active role in building cooperation with partner schools…she has a warm personality and limitless energy.”
