Yehuda Gannon

The excitement of spending a semester in Montreal through N.U.in sealed Yehuda’s college choice. He loves to travel and really enjoyed his time at McGill University with other NU students.

Yehuda always wanted to major in History, but during his first semester with N.U.in, he decided to become a combined political science and history major.

In his first year, Yehuda took Picturing Modernity – Photography in U.S. Technology, Culture, and Society with Professor Victoria Cain, which encouraged his involvement in the History Department.

In Summer 2019, Yehuda did a Dialogue of Civilizations to Germany with Professor Natalie Bormann, and delved into sensitive topics related to Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

With an interest in reading other students’ research, Yehuda helped start the Northeastern University Historical Review, an online outlet for students to publish their research to gain a wider reach.

During his third year, Yehuda took History of Modern Terrorism with Professor Jeffrey Burds. He found the interdisciplinary approach that touched on the political nature of the subject captivating.

Yehuda went on co-op at Warburg Pincus, a private equity firm in New York. His work combined his skills in writing, research, and political science and ultimately solidified his interest in law.

During his fourth year, Yehuda wanted to give back to his community and became peer mentor for the History Department to help guide incoming students.

While working as a TA in the History department, Yehuda took Assassinations in World History with Professor Jeffrey Burds and found it fascinating.

Through his coursework and co-ops, Yehuda has developed a keen interest in law and after graduating, intends to attend law school.
