And Now This: DACA Action! Strategy Session to Generate Resources for Former Dreamers
2017-02-22 14:30 - 15:30
[ASB230] This is an action-planning and clearinghouse session for the benefit of our students facing indeterminate action on their immigration status. Not abstract talk! We are responding to the issues raised about our 19 known DACA students, and others perhaps not counted, who are in danger of losing their legal protections imminently. Many of us throughout the campus have been working with students individually, in groups, in relation to the Board of Trustees, as well as obtaining social service information and legal information and working perhaps in ways unknown to be able to provide students with concrete assistance. Our modest hope for this session is to be able to provide a place for candid discussion, clarifying questions, and sharing of skills between engaged faculty and staff. As an additional take-away, we would like to be able to generate a list of campus offices and outside agencies that stand ready to help students/their families in need of social services or legal re (View Full Event Description Here: https://www.ramapo.edu/frc/event/and-now-this-daca-action/)

Teach-In on Refugees
2017-03-03 12:00 - 15:40
[Pavilion] – Ramapo College of New Jersey’s International Studies program will host a “Teach-In on Refugees” on Friday, March 3 in the campus’ Trustees Pavilion from noon to 3:40 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The world is in the midst of a massive refugee crisis. America, which historically has accepted more refugees per year than any other country, seems to be turning its back on them. Ramapo College is home to scholars with expertise on these issues, and students who have served refugees directly through internships and co-ops.
The Teach-In will consist of two panels with speakers addressing a variety of viewpoints and issues related to refugees. The first panel (noon to 1:40 p.m.) will include:
*Ramapo College Professor Susan Hangen (Anthropology) who will provide an overview of the refugee crisis and share insights from her recent trip to Greece to study the issue.
*Ramapo College Professor Behzad Yaghmaian (Sociology) is scheduled to Skype in from Europe, where he is conducting research on refugees there.
*Milagros Cruz, the Community Relations Manager from the International Rescue Committee (IRC), will address the work on her organization serving refugees from camps in Jordan to resettling them here in New Jersey. Many Ramapo students have completed internships or co-ops at the New Jersey and New York offices of the IRC and several will be on hand to answer questions for students interested in doing this in future.
The second panel (2-3:40 p.m.) will include:
*Ramapo College Professor Erick Castellanos (Anthropology), who will address common myths about refugees and immigrants that have fed a backlash against them from within the Trump administration.
*Ramapo biology student Adam Ayyad, who will discuss his experiences assisting Syrian refugees in Greece last summer.
*Noha Alzouabi, a Montclair state University student who emigrated to the U.S. from Syria four years ago. He will present his perspective on the situation there and the plight of Syrian refugees.
*Ramapo College Professors Paula Straile-Costa and Lisa Williams (Literature) will address the intersection of creative writing and refugee advocacy, share insights of their recent trip to Greece to study that topic, and share a film clip.
There will be a Question & Answer period following each panel. All are welcome to attend.
