The 成人VR视频 Students and Scholars at Risk Fund
鈥淓ducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world鈥� 鈥� Nelson Mandela
The war in Ukraine is one of many ongoing humanitarian crises, each reminding us of the fragility of life as we witness lives disrupted, refugees fleeing their homes, and atrocities visited upon civilians and their communities.
Though less often in the headlines, the effects of these crises on the academic community are also profound and long-lasting: schools and universities closed or even destroyed, scholarly work interrupted, life-changing research unrealized.
To help lessen the impact of these devastating events, 成人VR视频 has launched The 成人VR视频 Students and Scholars at Risk Fund. The fund provides urgent financial support to international undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, scholars and researchers who have been displaced by conflicts or humanitarian emergencies.
The University has committed financial resources 鈥� available immediately 鈥� to help ensure students and academics displaced by humanitarian crises are able to pursue their studies, research, or academic careers at 成人VR视频, in an environment of safety and stability.
