a rally this afternoon at 4:30 at the Courthouse downtown to protest the recent executive order banning refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US. There will be a march from there to City Hall, arriving at 5:15.
One of the countries on the forbidden list is Somalia, so this is an issue that will have profound effects on many of our students and neighbors.

The Communication Studies Department and the Communication Studies Club are proud to announce the exhibition of Green Card Voices on our campus. Green Card Voices is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to record the stories of America’s immigrants and share them with the world. Beginning on Monday, February 6th, twenty banners from the project will each tell the story of an immigrant to the United States. These banners will be exhibited in Atwood Center near the ramp to the Theatre. The banners will be on display in Atwood for two weeks and then in Riverview for two week.
The Executive Director and Co-Founder of Green Card Voices, Tea Rozman-Clark, will give a presentation at noon on Monday, February 6th in the Atwood Theatre about the project. All SCSU employees and students are invited to attend.

The war in eastern Ukraine has uprooted hundreds of thousands of people, forcing them to flee from the constant shelling. Many of them have since found shelter, but they are yearning to return to their old lives.
