Ironically, this story came out the morning of the US attack on Syria. (It covers higher ed across #Monterey County, #California, but leads with the story of a Syrian student.)
Lama Ranjous was coming of age in Damascus just as Syria was thrumming with the possibility of change. She left her hometown of Hama, about three hours from Damascus, to live in the city and study political science, and just after she graduated college in 2010, the Arab Spring began to deliver hope of democracy, but also rocked the region with violence.
