Berkley Center

The Sakka Family Religion and International Journalism Fellowship brings distinguished journalists to Georgetown University who have significant experience covering politics, international relations, and the role of religion in public life and world events. The fellowship was created to help students gain a greater understanding of the role of religion in public life and world events by connecting the Georgetown community with journalists who have significant experience reporting on that dynamic. Sakka Family Fellows will engage students in the work of journalists through classes and research and writing activities, as well as curate public events and advance a creative project while in residence as a fellow.

The Sakka Family Religion and International Journalism Fellowship is made possible through a generous gift from Kareem Sakka (G'91, P'20, P'24) and Dania Sakka (P'20, P'24). The fellowship program is jointly administered by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Georgetown Journalism Program in the College of Arts & Sciences.
