Mohamad Hubbi

I am a Syrian-American student at the University of Pennsylvania studying International Relations. As a University Scholar, I hope to focus my research on migration policy, border externalization, and human rights in the European Union and its effects on the MENA region. I’ve participated in Penn’s Global Seminar (PGS) in Sofia, Bulgaria where I met with members of Parliament and Bulgaria's President, exploring how EU membership has shaped national migration strategies. Additionally, I will be participating in the Lex Fellowship in Genoa, Italy, to further my knowledge in international law through mock cases and law firm visits.

Beyond my research, I’m deeply engaged in campus life; I serve as the Engagement Co-Chair for Penn Traditions, helping foster school spirit and alumni relations. I’m also the Finance Chair for the Middle Eastern and North African Pre-Law Society (MENAPLS), where I support pre-law programming for underrepresented communities. Additionally, I’m interning with the Office of New Student Orientation and Academic Initiatives, working to support incoming first-year students. Through these experiences, I hope to pursue a career in international law and diplomacy, with a focus on centering marginalized voices in policymaking.
