Furman alums write about the Merkel magic

Before Time magazine named Angela Merkel its 2015 Person of the Year, Furman alums Claire Greenstein ’11 and Brandon Tensley ’12 wrote about the influential German Chancellor for Foreign Affairs magazine. In the op-ed, “The Merkel Magic,” the two wrote that “although some of Merkel’s policies will remain controversial, her position as chancellor is secure.” Both Greenstein and Tensley graduated from Furman with degrees in political science and German.
