Aya Saed JD 17, President
Aya Saed, 2016
JD, Harvard University
Soros Fellowship awarded to support work towards a JD at Harvard University
Aya was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Sudanese parents. Her family migrated to the United States in 1999 to escape political and economic turmoil at home.
Inspired by youth-led protest movements in the US and abroad, Aya spent two summers curating technologies for activists during the Arab-Spring protests as a Google intern.
She helped to launch the Speak2Tweet product in 2012, which allowed protesters across Sudan and Ethiopia to tweet using their analog phones despite sporadic Internet connectivity.
As a Quest Bridge Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, Aya conducted independent research on Islamic finance with Professor Andrew Lamas, served as chair of UMOJA, an umbrella organization for student groups of the African Diaspora, and was a columnist forThe Daily Pennsylvanian. Upon graduation, she worked with the Asian Women’s Leadership University (AWLU) Project as a Henry Luce Scholar in Malaysia
Aya is pursuing a joint JD at Harvard Law School and a Masters in public affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. She is a student-attorney for the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, president of the Muslim Law Students Association, and a research assistant to Professor Intisar Rabb. She hopes to pursue a career in litigation and community organizing in Muslim and Muslim-American communities to challenge national security policies that violate civil rights and civil liberties.

That smell is coming from your own hands Aya, you really should use toilet paper instead...
Free college! Bernie would be proud.
IOW, more cowards and islamist infiltrators.
Who would leave their homeland rather than work to make it better?
I would never leave the United States for another country no matter how hard things got. And even if I did, who would take me?
But muslims do it all the time. Like rats. Which, BTW, is the US political party that most represents their interests.
