This past year has underscored both the global and local dimensions of our work. RIT’s refugee and immigrant community members come from 50 countries. Many still have families and friends in those places, including Afghanistan, where the Taliban took over after a multi-generation war that started in 1973, and Burma, which is experiencing enduring effects from a military coup. Many of our students, colleagues, and neighbors from these and other countries, are deeply connected to struggles in their places of origin.
Present events highlight how deeply RIT is part of this ecosystem of shared struggles and communal support. On November 10, we will celebrate its beauty and power. Our community members will share about RIT’s response to current events, and the solidarity efforts that are taking place. RIT is continuing our longstanding, impactful programs and expanding them in response to emerging needs. Join us as we mobilize support for RIT’s work and community at this critical time!
