Join IGS during I Am Global Week for a conversation about how to support refugees internationally and locally. Brandeis Senior Sara Goldstein will share her experience from volunteering as an English Teacher for Ukrainian Refugees in Poland. Marjean A. Perhot, Vice President for Refugee and Immigrant Services at Catholic Charities, will speak about her experience working with immigrants and refugees in Boston. Liza Gutina, a graduate of Brandeis (’03), will speak about Svitlo, a non-profit she co-founded in the aftermath of the war in Ukraine that collects information and resources for Ukrainian newcomers and presents it in a clear intuitive layout.
