INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FALL 2012 Studying Abroad in a Revolution In January 2011, my journey to Cairo, Egypt officially began. Being an International Studies major and an Arabic minor I was expected to study abroad. In fact, since I was undertaking the intensive version of my major, study abroad was required. I had no clue what to expect and I was filled with anxiety but a sense of thrill also overtook me. My arrival at the Cairo International airport felt surreal, even though I was detained for a solid hour and given no explanation whatsoever following the detention, I was not going to let anything or anyone for that matter dampen my spirits. During my time in Cairo I lived in Zamalek, an area in Cairo that was a twenty-minute walk to Tahrir square, the epicenter of the Egyptian revolution. It became apparent just days after settling in that our proximity to Tahrir square may cause some concern. On several occasions we had to be re-routed quite a ways from our regular route on our way back from the University. My first encounter of the protests was on a Saturday afternoon when all the study abroad students were taken on a field trip to Khan El Khalili the most famous market in Cairo. We were on our way back to the dorms when one of the guides announced that we were actually headed back to the University (which was an hour away) because the roads leading to our dorms had been closed off due to protests. As we tried to digest our tour guide Mohammed’s words, some of us were a bit excited at the chaos that was erupting, but most of us were slightly on edge, not sure what to make of the news. We spent about three hours at school that afternoon and then finally we were allowed to head back to the dorm (after many frantic calls to our parents). During the second week of our stay, the atmosphere seemed to be different. There was a sense of worry and anxiety loomed all around us. At school it was evident something was brewing as students would congregate in halls and discuss Tahrir and some teachers would alter the lesson plan to talk about what was going on in Egypt. Then it all began. Story continues on page 4 2 INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FALL 2012 3 21 INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FALL 2012 I spent a frantic two weeks in Kenya awaiting my fate… Continued from page 2 Kenya awaiting my fate while glued to the One day, the school day was cut short. television following every news channel on By noon buses were shipping students back word as to whether Egypt was safe enough to to the dorms and teachers back to their return to. Two long weeks later, I was able to residences. The next day we did not have return Egypt to finish off my study abroad. school. The day after the President of the About three hundred students were University came to brief us. She told us that studying abroad that semester, but fewer the American government was making than ninety students came back after the preparations to evacuate its citizens. We were evacuation. My Arabic class was the most all shocked, panicked and most of all, we shocking case as prior to the revolution, I had were confused. What exactly was going on? about thirty other classmates but afterwards, Did we have to evacuate? If we did choose to there were three of us in that class, myself evacuate could we ever come back? These are included. The most foreigners I ever had in questions that were lingering in my mind. any of my classes was three students. This Sure enough, about two days after the certainly made my classes all the more evacuation announcement, about three interesting, as most of my classmates were fourths of the International students had Egyptians and our conversations and lessons evacuated. Most universities were requiring revolved around the revolution. I got a their students to head back home to America. unique perspective as every day we spoke of Baylor was no exception, but instead of going what happened the previous day in Tahrir to America, they permitted me to go to Square as even long after former President Kenya, where I’m originally from and my Mubarak was ousted, the revolution was still father resides. I spent a frantic two weeks in occurring. All in all, I would not trade my experience in Egypt during this pivotal time for anything. It was utterly chaotic, mildly terrifying yet overwhelmingly fulfilling. Never have I witnessed patriotism at such a high or seen people willing to give up their all to have a say in their politics. Studying abroad in Egypt during the revolution was the experience of a lifetime that truly opened my eyes to a lot more even to this day. Inshallah (God Willing) President Morsi will bring the joy and change that the Egyptian people truly thirst for. Vanessa Onguti, ’12, was an International Studies major with an Arabic Minor.

Here is the 2017 summer newsletter, containing information on events in the department, political humor, bios of alumni, and notes on the activities and accomplishments of our students. The department is thriving, there are now more than 500 Political Science and International Relations.
