The Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund and the Center for Public Scholarship at The New School cordially invite you to a discussion on Syrian Higher Education in Crisis: the Road Forward. 
  
Monday, October 7th, 2013 (6:00 - 8:00pm)
The New School
Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall 
55 West 13th Street, 2nd Floor 
New York, NY 10011

After more than two years of war and civil unrest, Syria's higher education sector is facing a severe crisis, with educational and research facilities decimated, intellectual production and scientific research on hold, and thousands of students' education interrupted indefinitely. Join experts on Syria, higher education, and humanitarian intervention to examine the current state of higher education in Syria and amongst Syrian refugees and to explore what programmatic interventions the international higher education sector and donor communities might pursue urgently to support Syrian academics and students.  
 
Event speakers will include an IIE-SRF Fellow from Syria and the University in Exile Scholar at Parsons The New School for Design who has been active in the country's higher education sector. Dr. Allan Goodman (President and CEO, Institute of International Education), Mr. Mark Angelson (Chairman, IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund), and Dr. David Van Zandt (President, The New School) will also offer remarks.
