Colorado State University
Personal growth and identity remain close to Gabriella Zeidan’s (BSW, ’20) heart. As an outstanding graduate from the School of Social Work at Colorado State University, she learned to embrace her own identity and advocate for social justice.
Zeidan was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and grew up in several different towns before attending high school and part of college in Austin, Texas, to adoptive Lebanese American parents. Before attending CSU, Zeidan studied music at a community college in Austin, Texas.
She originally planned to study music at CSU but decided to change her major to social work a week before her first semester. After making the change to social work, Zeidan felt a fear of failing due to the learning transition.
“This change shook me, and I felt afraid of failing as I had not been in auditorium classrooms.

It had made little attempt to hide its support for the protesters and, as unrest spread across the region, those leading demonstrations in other countries – including Bahrain – hoped for similar coverage of their own plight.
It did not come. The Bahraini protests were mainly ignored; worse still for the protesters, they were often characterised as sectarian and the threat of an Iranian influence was highlighted. The Saudi forces that crossed the causeway in mid-March to lead the crackdown on the protesters were portrayed positively and any criticism of the intervention by ordinary Bahrainis was kept to a minimum.
Al Jazeera likes to style itself as the “voice of the voiceless” and over the past few months it has played an influential role in the Arab uprisings. Its coverage, particularly of the revolution in Egypt, wa
