Monday, May 6 (rescheduled from May 7th), BUS, Ukrop Auditorium Q162
Come hear the personal stories and real experiences from Ukraine as lived and told by Michael Warchol our Communications and Events Manager for the Office of International Education. As he notes, 'Serving in the Peace Corps many years ago initiated a real shift in my thinking on the world and the work I do. With the start of the war and renewed focus on Ukraine, I again have found new purpose and new work through sponsoring and supporting Ukrainian refugees.'
