Brice Nordquist writes “On World Refugee Day, celebrate resettled refugees who care for their neighbors.”

Brice Nordquist, associate professor of writing studies, rhetoric and composition and Dean’s Professor of community engagement, wrote the opinion piece for syracuse.com, “On World Refugee Day, celebrate resettled refugees who care for their neighbors.” In the letter to the editor, Nordquist highlights those he has met through work at the North Side Learning Center, many of whom he feels have become Syracuse’s greatest community leaders, especially during the COVID 19 pandemic. Nordquist celebrates “the resourcefulness, strength and responsiveness of the resettled refugees in my community who show me daily what civic responsibility looks like.”
