Communities In Crisis

The event that I attended was the Communities in Crisis: COVID, Racism, and the Ongoing Struggle (Academic, Jedi) held by the center of ethnic studies. The event took place on November 17th. This event talked about a program that they have to help people who are not from the Columbus area adjust to their new lives here. They assisted people to relocate if needed. One of the problems that they addressed is how COVID has been hard on the members of the community. Their main goal is to make sure people can live here and get their education. One thing that really interested me about this event was that they mentioned that they buy land and make it a home for native people with no families. This really interested me because this is something I want to do back home. The mission of the program is to help people be successful which I think very important. This program relates to IA because it helps people learn about the lives of people who live outside of America and how challenging their transition is when coming to the United States. I really enjoyed this event and all the guest speaks very informative and generous.
