Syrian refugee crisis to be addressed on Nov. 17
Bluffton University is hosting a discussion of the Syrian refugee crisis at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, in Stutzman Lecture Hall in Centennial Hall.
The program, featuring speaker Corine Dehabey of US Together in Toledo, is free and open to the public.
US Together, which also has offices in Columbus and Cleveland, is a nonprofit agency that was founded in 2003 in response to the needs of refugees and immigrants in central Ohio. It coordinates, organizes and initiates services to those who are unable to stay in their native countries.
Seniors in the honors section of Bluffton’s capstone course, Christian Values in a Global Community, are sponsoring the event. Every section of the course does a community task force project in response to a global issue.
