In Bid To Welcome Refugees, Campaign Hopes To Make 'Every Campus A Refuge'

Diya Abdo, a professor at Guilford College, has launched Every Campus a Refuge, a project that aims to get every college and university campus to host one Syrian refugee family. As Guilford College makes plans for a refugee family to move on campus, North Carolina's governor is now one of a couple dozen who have said they doesn't want Syrian refugees entering the state, citing security reasons. Abdo and the college are moving forward wtih the program, despite requests from state legislators to rescind their offer to refugees.
