Yulia Dmytrova, Head of TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) Ukraine

The Standing With Ukraine series is sponsored by the College of the Environment, the Allbritton Center for the Study of Public Life, and the Fries Center for Global Studies. Earlier this spring, Kolcio and Chernoff hosted a series of livestreamed international conversations, which allowed members of the Wesleyan community to connect with students, civic leaders, experts, and artists in Ukraine in an effort to humanize the war by hearing their perspectives from the war zone.

Special thanks to Associate Director of Visual Arts and Adjunct Instructor in Art Benjamin Chaffee, the Center for the Arts, and the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery.
