Lemon Tree The latest feature by Israeli director Eran Riklis presents us with the story of Salma, a Palestinian widow who lives in a small village on the green line border between Israel and the West Bank. Salma is pushed to defend her lemon tree grove when a new Israeli Defense Minister moves next to her and threatens to have her trees torn down for security reasons. Personal drama gives way to political controversies as Salma forms an unexpected bond with the minister's lonely wife and takes her protest--with the help of her young lawyer -- all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court.

We’re Turning 100!

To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
