Guilford Moves to Support Scholars at Risk
Guilford Moves to Support Scholars at Risk
Guilford College has joined Scholars-At-Risk, an international network of more than 500 higher education institutions dedicated to protecting scholars in peril for their work back home. Scholars-At-Risk helps arrange temporary research and teaching positions at member institutions. Guilford hopes to invite an at-risk scholar to campus by 2026. For now the College plans to incorporate SAR’s mission into several spring semester classes. Read more here.
Certificate in Advancing the Role of Community Stakeholders in Refugee Integration
Certificate in Advancing the Role of Community Stakeholders in Refugee Integration
Presented by Guilford College's CPPSET in Partnership with Every Campus A Refuge (ECAR) and Opening Universities for Refugees (OUR)
This certificate will engage participants in learning about forced displacement and refugee resettlement, and the methods by which community members can support and participate in refugee integration efforts while centering the agency and dignity of refugees as co-designers of those methods. The certificate also seeks to respond in effective, principled, and nimble ways to the current moment in forced migration and our nation's increased capacity for welcome (for example through Welcome Corps, an opportunity for Americans to privately sponsor refugees).
The program will be offered over the course of three days with 15 hours of contact split into five three-hour sessions:
February 27, 28 and 29 (online)
May 15, 16 and 17 (online)
