Ted Quiballo and Sarah P. Lee write: “For nearly a decade, Northwestern University (NU) in Evanston, Illinois, and the Chicago office of the national nonprofit World Relief have worked together to offer free summer programming for families who are refugees or seeking asylum. In 2021, after the US military withdrew its final troops from Afghanistan, tens of thousands of Afghan families fled to the US. That’s when NU’s Seeley G. Mudd Library joined the partnership, hosting dozens of these families’ children in its makerspace each summer. The program encourages participants to gain new academic skills, leadership experience, and build connections in their new community.”
