International Education faculty, Dr. Bernhard Streitwieser and Dr. Jihae Cha, along with the students in the Refugee Educational Advancement Laboratory (REAL) have been awarded a GW University Seminar grant for their project, "DMV Regional Community of Practice on Refugee Students in Higher Education,” for the 2024-25 academic year.
The University Seminars Funding Program was established to foster sustained discussion of issues that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries among members of GW faculty, possibly including their distinguished counterparts in universities, research centers, federal agencies, international organizations and private industry throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The goal is to connect the traditional research and scholarly endeavors of the academy across disciplines, thereby ensuring an exchange of perspectives and information.
