UVic's response to the refugee crisis
Sep. 17, 2015
UVic has joined the international effort to ease the mounting crisis for the tens of millions of refugees—more than four million from Syria alone—who have been forced from their homelands because of conflict and insecurity. In addition to this website where collaborative events and activities can be shared, UVic has plegded support for more spaces for student refugees at our university, and for language and skills training for newly-arrived refugees in Greater Victoria.
Community members can support the university's efforts by donating here. UVic will match dollar for dollar up to $50,000 in donations received.
