Congratulations go to Mary Beth Cole, who has been informed by the Academic and International Affairs Office of the Rumi Forum that she is this year’s recipient the graduate prize in the 2014 Hizmet Essay Contest for her essay, "Transforming Altruism from Selfish into Sacrificial: How Reciprocity Inspires Service in the Hizmet Movement.”  Her essay focused on the philosophical roots of this organization in the writings of Fethullah Gulen and its early history in Turkey. The essay also covered the subsequent expansion of the organization into relief work in other countries, which largely focuses on building schools that promote interfaith dialogue in Middle Eastern and Eastern European regions.
