Oct. 20, 2011: Refugees and Immigrants in Anchorage with Judy Owens-Manley, Karen Ferguson, Robin Bronen and Catherine Sullivan

Oct. 20, 5-7 p.m.
UAA Campus Bookstore

Anchorage has become home to many immigrant groups and has more recently become home to refugees resettled from countries in Africa and Asia. What is the distinction between refugees and immigrants? Why and how do people migrate from around the globe? And what do they face when they come to a new land with a new language and new customs? A panel of experts from UAA and the larger Anchorage community discuss these questions and the inherent tensions and contributions of "One community, many cultures."

This event is sponsored with the Center for Community Engagement and Learning (CCEL). For more information about this free event, visit the UAA Campus Bookstore or contact Rachel Epstein at (907) 786-4782.
