Political Science Professor Shyam Sriram, PhD, and five of his students recently authored an article for the May edition of Best Practices in Jesuit Higher Education about their comprehensive effort to help refugees across Buffalo. The case study discusses their bold initiative aimed at fostering institutional awareness and action regarding the needs of refugees resettled in Buffalo. Their work aligns closely with the university’s Jesuit values of being “men and women in service to others” and “care for the whole person,” and teaches students to view refugees as individuals rather than data points. The article, which can be read here, highlights three key ways in which the university is actively responding to this call for leadership.
