Every Campus a Refuge

Posted by Haverford College on October 30, 2017

Also on November 2, the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship is supporting a 12 – 2 lunch presentation and conversation with Diya Abdo, founding director of Every Campus a Refuge and Associate Professor of English at Guilford College. Inspired by Pope Francis’ call on every European parish to host one refugee family, Guilford College’s Every Campus a Refuge (ECAR) initiative advocates for mobilizing campus resources to temporarily house refugees on campus grounds and assist them in resettlement in the local area. ECAR was profiled on NPR here.
