SUPRA is a diverse graduate student organization, with volunteers from almost all of the University’s colleges, that provides a variety of assistance to Syracuse’s refugees. Currently, SUPRA is looking for volunteers to serve as executive board members, ESL teachers/tutors (no experience necessary) and public relations and communications specialists (for website maintenance, advertising, photography, etc.).
