The UN Together Campaign, created in response to the global refugee crisis, advocates for respect, safety and dignity for all. On January 9, MSU anthropology students joined professors Kate McCaffrey and Maisa Taha at the United Nations to learn what students and universities can do to advocate for refugees.

De Montfort University in the UK convened a conference that brought together students, faculty and administrators from 11 different universities who are concerned about the global refugee crisis. Our students experienced the UN in action, and pledged their commitment to advocate for refugees. #JoinTogether
