New Initiative for Middle East Peace

NIMEP is a collaborative education, dialogue, and research group with a focus on the Middle East. Through weekly dialogues, on-campus events, and a yearly research trip that culminates with the publication of a peer-reviewed journal, NIMEP aims to foster greater understanding and engagement with the region as a whole.

NIMEP is a non-polemical student think-tank and outreach initiative aimed at finding progressive solutions to the historic conflicts in the Middle East. NIMEP provides a forum for productive dialogue, scholarship, and exploration of the region. This initiative is committed to contributing to future leadership and to inspiring others to realize the powerful results such a model of thinking and action can produce.

In 2005, NIMEP published the first edition of its journal, NIMEP Insights. The journal featured student research papers from NIMEP trips to Israel and the West Bank and to Egypt, as well as the IGL's 2004 trip to Iran. Student research from NIMEP's most recent trip to Tunisia will be highlighted in the next issue of Insights, slated for publication in Fall 2012.
