Please join us for "Refugees in Buffalo: Stories, Struggles, and Successes" on Wednesday, March 9, from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. in Bulger Communication Center East. This event is part of the fifth annual Southeast Asia Week: Refugees in Crisis (PDF).

Buffalo is quickly becoming one of the most diverse cities in New York State, largely because of the resettlement of refugees and asylum seekers from around the world. These newcomers to Buffalo, including Somali, Bhutanese-Nepali, Burmese, Karen, Iraqi, and Sudanese, had very different pathways to our city but share a staunch determination to find success in their new home. In this panel discussion, moderated by Rubens Mukunzi, newcomers currently living in Buffalo will share their stories.

Refreshments will be provided. Please contact the Equity and Campus Diversity Office, 878-6210, for more information.

This event is sponsored by the Equity and Campus Diversity Office, the Geography and Planning Department, the Faculty-Student Association Founders Fund, the Center for Southeast Asia Environment and Sustainable Development, and the Community Academic Center.
