A 2012 NCHC Portz Grant recipient, we developed an innovative honors course partnering with the Global Refugee Center. Students worked alongside refugee community members creating a community asset map presented to city stakeholders. Our presentation focuses on the project's reciprocity elements and its ultimate impact on students and community.
