Asmaa El Gammal is the New Editor-in-Chief of The Caravan
By Heba El Sahn
Asmaa El Gammal, a Schutz graduate of 2005, was and remains an ambitious and hardworking individual. At school, she was a very proactive and successful student having taken six APs and holding positions in the HSSC. Asmaa is currently a senior at the American University in Cairo. She chose to double major in Journalism/Mass Communication (with a specialization in Journalism) and Political Science (specializing in Public and International Law). She is also minoring in History. Asmaa has been able to maintain a high academic standing as well as participate in extracurricular activities and enjoy a good social life.
Asmaa obviously has a certain inclination towards the Arts. Asmaa admits to having a passion for writing. She wrote for the Schutz newspaper during her junior year, and she thoroughly enjoyed her Language Arts class with Mr. McCallum. Asmaa’s talent as a writer carried on to her university years. Last May, Asmaa was unanimously chosen as the new Editor-in-Chief of the Caravan (AUC’s newspaper). She is currently the Managing Editor and will acquire her new role by the end of this semester. Nobody opposed her in the election and the newspaper staff is very pleased about her becoming the new editor-in-chief. The Caravan’s news editor actually said that “She [Asmaa] will be one of the best editors the Caravan has ever had.”
Asmaa still hasn't decided on what career she is going to pursue because she has many interests. Her interests include journalism, development work and international law, and she believes that she might end up trying all of these at one point in her life. She also has the high aspirations of obtaining an M.A. and a P.H.D in either Law or Professional Development, but she does not plan on starting her graduate studies until she gets some work experience first. As expected too of course, Asmaa is not willing to give up her love for writing and will in some way or another get it in her future career.
Schutz is proud of Asmaa’s achievements and will continue to support her in anyway it can. Asmaa is grateful for the fact that the Schutz experience got her to make many great friendships and memories that will always stay with her. Asmaa says, “I would like to tell Schutz students, especially every senior, that the next few years are a time for you to discover who you are and discover a passion in life. If you want to be successful and satisfied with yourself, you must follow this passion and do what you love.”
