From Kabul to Tulsa
TU students, faculty and staff are undertaking an array of projects aimed at ensuring Afghan refugees begin safe, healthy lives in Tulsa. At the College of Law, for example, students are being trained to help Afghans navigate the complexities of seeking asylum. Caroline Bezner was motivated to get involved in that effort because "I want to be there to lift some of those worries off their shoulders by making this process more manageable."
