Ray Warren Symposium IRCO X Refugee Care Collective Service Project
Calling all offices, academic departments, resident halls, and student organizations! We need your help collecting donations for IRCO & the Refugee Care Collective from November 4th through the 18th.
As part of the 21st Annual Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies, the Center for Social Change and Community Involvement is hosting a post-symposium service opportunity. In collaboration with the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) and the Refugee Care Collective we are putting on a drive all over campus to create Restart Kits for refugee and immigrant families in Oregon.
