Visit to the Refugee Development Center - Lansing, Michigan (Friday May 4th) - Michigan Road Scholars 2018
Visit to the Refugee Development Center of Lansing, Michigan on Friday May 4rd. From their site, the Lansing Refugee Development Center (www.refugeedevelopmentcenter.org/): "...is a grassroots organization offering formal and informal learning opportunities in an open and inclusive setting. The RDC opened in 2002 because the Greater Lansing community identified service area gaps for newcomer populations seeking self-sufficiency. The common denominator in the gaps identified revolved around education, and hence, the mission of the center was born. Today, the RDC helps serve as the link between newcomer populations and the private, public, and faith-based communities of Ingham County." The visit was hosted by Erika Brown Binton, Executive Director. From the Government Relations site, "the Michigan Road Scholar Tour takes faculty of the University of Michigan (U-M) on a five-day traveling seminar on the State of Michigan. This educational tour exposes participants to the state’s economy, government and politics, culture, educational systems, health and social issues, history, and geography."
