A\/S Richard delivered these remarks at a World Affairs Council (WAC) event, where Kuehl worked for two years following his undergraduate graduation, to underscore the difficult decisions refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons face before making dangerous journeys. As a FLAS Fellow from the Center for European Studies, Kuehl is studying Arabic as a way to help him better understand migration policy in Europe. \u201cThe European refugee crisis is ever-present and demands a coordinated response to manage the influx,\u201d Kuehl stated. With the help of the FLAS Fellowship and the Arabic language, Kuehl is positioning himself to be able to work directly with policy-makers focused on the refugee crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt;color: black\">While working with WAC, Kuehl actively engaged with policy makers and community members focused on migration in the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA), and Europe. During an event he helped create and host, titled \u201cU.S.-EU Partnership in the Arab World,\u201d Kuehl and WAC brought in experts with extensive and diverse backgrounds in the MENA region. Kuehl observed that the common thread between the speakers was their proficiency in Arabic. \u201cThese credentials allowed them to advise U.S. foreign policy in their prior respective U.S. government postings\u2026\u201d Kuehl noted, realizing the importance of both language and area studies for his own future academic and career goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt;color: black\">Kuehl is enrolled in the Master of Arts in International Studies program (MAIS) in the Jackson School, and when he graduates, he plans to continue his work understanding the refugee crisis and seeking policy solutions. He noted that \u201cArabic is a particularly valuable policy tool in respect to the European refugee crisis, considering that Arabic is an official language in five out of the ten top source countries of refugees globally.\u201d Whether he enrolls in a Ph.D. program or moves directly to work at a think-tank or other policy-driven field, Kuehl knows that this FLAS Fellowship and his time at the Jackson School have prepared him to focus on EU-policy making and the European refugee crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe must prevent life from being so bleak, that risking death is preferential.\u201d These words from Assistant Secretary Anne Richard, in the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, have stuck with MAIS Student Alexander Kuehl.
