Kroc Institute welcomes 15 new Master of Global Affairs, International Peace Studies students
The Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, part of the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs, has welcomed 15 new students pursuing a master of global affairs with a concentration in international peace studies (MGA-IPS). These students are part of the Keough School’s master of global affairs Class of 2024.
"Once again, we welcome a cohort of students that bring a wealth of experience, amazing energy and a real sense of purpose,” said Susan St. Ville, director of the international peace studies concentration. “We look forward to learning from their contributions in the classroom and in day-to-day conversations."
MGA-IPS students come to Notre Dame with an array of professional experiences, having worked in diverse sectors and fields including gender studies, development, humanitarian aid, research analysis, law, environmental protection, peace processes, combating disinformation, human rights, global communications, and more.
MGA-IPS students in the Class of 2024 come from 13 countries including Afghanistan, Egypt, Ghana, India, Iraq, Kenya, Myanmar, Pakistan, Singapore, Syria, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Yemen.
This year’s incoming students are:
- Eskandar Ataallah, Syria
- Matthew Bocanumenth, United States
- Halkano Boru, Kenya
- Noha Elsebaie, Egypt
- Rawand Faeq, Iraq
- Adeela Firdous, India
- Ciera Griffin, United States
- Nasiba Hamidy, Afghanistan
- Aung Myo Hein, Myanmar
- Fatima Faisal Khan, Pakistan
- Aleithia Low, Singapore
- Tes Osborne, United Kingdom
- Zakira Rasooli, Afghanistan
Master of global affairs, international peace studies students receive full funding and a living stipend from the Kroc Institute. The concentration builds on the Master’s in International Peace Studies program administered by the Kroc Institute for 30 years.

- German major uses language skills to help Notre Dame engineering professor unlock 93-year-old brain researchIn the fields of neuroscience and neuroanatomy, scholars often cite a 93-year-old paper that examines the thickness of cortical folds. The problem, at least for an English-reading audience, is that this knowledge has always been hiding in plain sight. The article was written in German but never fully translated — until now, thanks to a Notre Dame College of Engineering professor and a Class of 2022 graduate with a deep understanding of the language.
- Engineers use quantum computing to develop transparent window coating that blocks heat, saves energyCooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption. Conventional clear windows allow the sun to heat up interior spaces, which energy-guzzling air-conditioners must then cool down. But what if a window could help cool the room, use no energy and preserve the view? Tengfei Luo, Dorini Family Professor of Energy Studies at the University of Notre Dame, and postdoctoral associate Seongmin Kim, have devised a transparent coating for windows that does just that.
