Designed for direct service providers\, managers\, and others in refugee resettlement\, this webinar will explore and address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with fostering inclusivity for LGBTQ+ individuals in newcomer services contexts. Speakers will discuss vital considerations for both policy and practice aimed at safeguarding and supporting clients\, staff\, volunteers\, and other stakeholders in the LGBTQ+ community. \nRegister URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/creating-inclusive-spaces-for-the-lgbtq-community-in-newcomer-services/ CATEGORIES:Diversity/Equity/Inclusion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/01/Webinar-Intergration-belonging.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240618T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240618T133000 DTSTAMP:20260424T201840 CREATED:20240613T223358Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250119T034547Z UID:10000073-1718712000-1718717400@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Celebrate Juneteenth at Clark DESCRIPTION:Clark University invites members of the campus community to celebrate this important holiday. \nStop by for treats\, giveaways\, and info about Juneteenth.

Currently\, Sandra is a doctoral candidate at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University.
