This Friday February 3rd, the UPEI Community is invited to come out to the Panthers' Basketball games not only to cheer on the UPEI players, but also to participate in a show of solidarity for refugees.  The evening will be hosted by UPEI's WUSC (World University Service of Canada) Committee, with the Women's Basketball Team playing at 6pm and the Men playing at 8pm.  So far, through WUSC's Student Refugee Program, the UPEI Committee has sponsored 24 students from refugee camps. The program helps sponsored students become permanent residents of Canada and complete their post-secondary education while being supported by fellow university students.  The committee members are looking forward to sharing some of the things they've learned and increasing awareness of refugee issues.  The purpose of the event is to build a supportive community, create connections, and share ideas on how to continue helping those who have had to leave their home country.
