Leah Tabor Completes Intensive Internship & Research Program in Armenia

From Stonehill College

Leah Tabor of N Scituate, RI, recently participated in Stonehill College’s
Learning Inside Out Network (LION) program. The intensive international initiative builds upon courses on security studies, conflict analysis, global crime and more by connecting students with impactful internships and research projects based in Armenia.

While abroad, Tabor completed an internship with FAR Children’s Support Center Foundation. Additionally, this year’s LION scholars presented research at the “Local Roots of Global Peace: Junior Voices in Global Security and Human Rights” conference at the Eurasia International University campus in Yerevan, Armenia.

“The LION program, to me, reflects the essence of Stonehill College’s mission. Transformative learning, after all, means transforming ourselves, remembering the passion and curiosity that led us to be scholars and educators and sharing that passion and curiosity with generations of students,” said Associate Professor of History Todd Gernes, who has helped facilitate the LION initiative alongside Anna Ohanyan, Stonehill’s Richard B. Finnegan Distinguished Professor of Political Science and International Relations, since 2019.
