Episode notes

With climate change, political unrest, wars, famine, there are countless people experiencing forced migration today as well as others impacted by the suspension of refugee programs, there is a dire need to step back to see the big picture for higher education as well as step up. The goal of episode #231 is to help people understand the circumstances in the world and how it affects people on the move, including humanitarian implications and possibilities. Some of the most vetted people on the planet who have been approved to migrate to the United States are being stopped and are stranded in route. And yet, the data indicate that within 6 years of arrival, such refugees are more highly employed than US citizens; in fact, the statistics are highly revealing in terms what they contribute back to society, Recent students with refugee status at Indiana University (IU) have come from Ukraine, Congo, Syria, South Sudan, Palestine, Pakistan, Iran, and most from Afghanistan. In this episode, we will get an update on such data from Nicole Bennett, Assistant Director for the IU Center for Refugee Studies .
