The Refugee Resource Hub is part of the larger Higher Ed Immigration Portal, and is developed under SHERR by our consortium partner, Presidents’ Alliance for Higher Education and Immigration. The Hub is a digital platform that integrates data and resources for higher education institutions to engage with and support refugees in the United States.
Among many other resources, the Hub features Spotlights of campus engagement with refugees around the U.S.:

The Hub allows you to join a Directory of Practitioners or find someone who works at the intersection of higher education and resettlement.
