Global Inspirations
Micaela Iveson’s passion is exploring the complex policies between our world’s nations, states and cultures. “I believe strongly in blending our ideas and perspectives with those of other cultures and ideologies. It’s the best way to solve the global problems of our times,” she said. As the recent recipient of the Boyd and Grace Martin Memorial Scholarship, Micaela was able to study Arab and Muslim culture while in Morocco for a year. “I was transformed by my experiences,” she said. “Immersion into another culture and traveling abroad has enhanced my understanding of Muslim and Arab societies.”

Micaela credits her professors and the staff of the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences, or CLASS, for encouraging her to pursue a degree in the University of Idaho’s International Studies program. “They’ve inspired and challenged me to pursue my own dreams. Gifts to scholarship endowments like this one provide students with the resources they need to excel. “Your support of the Martin Institute in International Studies has enabled me to live in and explore a rapidly evolving international community. Please take a moment today to continue your tradition of giving. You’ll be helping future students to follow their dreams, too.”
