GW is a member institution in the TRUCEN network.

From TRUCEN:

We’re excited to announce a new TRUCEN program–TRUCEN Showcases.

TRUCEN Showcases are in-person campus-hosted convenings focused on specific topics, issues, or opportunities that advance civic and community engagement within R1 institutions.  These convenings can range from 1-3 days and are intentionally flexible to allow for campus-hosts to design an experience that addresses their interests and capacity.

We want to host our first TRUCEN Showcase in late 2023 or January 2024.  Are you interested in hosting this year or in the future?  Reach out to Bobbie at blaur@compact.org to explore your idea and discuss the next steps.  Priority consideration for hosting the 2023/January 2024 Showcase will be given to those that reach out before August 7th.

GW professor Jihae Cha hosts a storytelling camp to give youth with refugee backgrounds a chance to navigate their identity and sense of belonging. Read more from GW Today
For the past decade, Cha has focused much of her research on education in emergencies and protracted crises with the goal of exploring both challenges and opportunities that exist in education for youth in exile.  

 

“My research always comes out of necessity from the field,” Cha said. “I asked [Paw], ‘What do you really want to do?’ She told me she wants to invite youth in the community to know the importance of self-expression and finding that greatness.”

After some planning, the result was a two-day intensive writing workshop in August 2022 where participants were encouraged to explore themes of identity and open up about the struggles of navigating a sense of belonging as immigrants in the United States.
