That journalistic instinct is what led her on a journey from studying Middle Eastern history at Columbia to advocating for justice as an award-winning documentary filmmaker.īacha has served 12 years as the creative director at Just Vision, a nonprofit that documents the work of Israelis and Palestinians using nonviolent resistance to the occupation to bring freedom, dignity, and equality to both societies. Yet that's how Bacha works best: by following her instincts. When seventeen-year-old Julia Bacha '03GS arrived at Columbia, she had no idea that she would become a filmmaker, much less one far away in the Middle East. This podcast is produced by Shanna Crumley '18SIPA and the Columbia Alumni Association. "The Future Is." is a mini-series all about Columbia alumnae who are the leaders of today and creators of tomorrow. The student chapter at Columbia provides professional development opportunities, serves as a support group for women engineers on campus, and conducts community outreach to introduce local high school and middle students to engineering.

SWE is an international organization with professional and collegiate chapters around the world. The secret to their success? Even their free time is useful: these girls' idea of a fun time is taking free classes on iTunes U! Minah Kim ' 17SEAS, Colette McCullagh ' 17SEAS, Rebecca Murray '18SEAS, and Erin Vaughn ' 18CC talk about their work on campus, what engineers watch on Netflix, and the head start they have on mentorship. In this episode of The Future Is., we hear from some young Columbians-a group of students (and some now young alumni) who together lead the Columbia chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).
