Join us for a vital conversation with Dr. Yinka, a leading voice on justice for women affected by violence, war, and forced migration.

Don’t miss this chance to learn from her expertise and engage in meaningful dialogue on care, advocacy, and action.

This event will take place on campus on Tuesday, April 1 from 6-7 PM. Food will also be provided. Please RSVP here so we may get a headcount for catering! Exact location details will be sent closer to the event date.
