Pablo Bose professor at UVM will present a discussion of how to revitalize the US Refugee Resettlement Program after years of cuts. He will focus on newer destinations in Vermont like Brattleboro, Montpelier, and Bennington. Find out in particular about partnerships between federal agencies, local communities and private philanthropic organizations and how they are spearheading a community sponsorship mode that focuses on how to evaluate expectations and outcomes for refugees, resettlement agencies, and local volunteers. Mr. Bose will concentrate on both existing refugee populations and the newest arrivals, including Afgans.
