A Thinkathon for Refugees
Date of Event:
12/4/15
There are approximately 30 million refugees, more than at any time since World War II, and the numbers surge more every day. Half are children, who are being forced to endure emotionally and developmentally devastating conditions. The crisis is both world-wide and local—Baltimore is the third largest receiver city in the United States.
The Arts and Humanities Center for Synergy hosted a day of intellectual activism, whereby UMD students, faculty and staff talked to legislative and IRC representatives about the impact of the refugee crisis and possible solutions.
