Queen Noor of Jordan ’73 talks women, injustice
Annie YangWomen are the key to progress in the Arab world, Woodrow Wilson Award winner Queen Noor of Jordan — formerly Lisa Halaby ’73 — said during Alumni Day on Saturday. The award is given annually to an alumnus or alumna who embodies the ideals former University President Woodrow Wilson, Class of 1879, set forth in his speech,"Princeton in the Nation's Service." With training, education and economic opportunity, women become capable of stabilizing nations and radically increasing GDP, she said.
