Viktoria Barnes, an SLC professor in Interdisciplinary Studies and Pathways wanted to help students impacted by the war in Ukraine in any way she could. New to SLC and not knowing all its innerworkings, she joined the Ukraine Working Group and started reaching out to community contacts. Through her work, she confirmed that members of the community are raising money through The Mayor’s Fund which is now dedicated as help for all Ukranian Refugees, not just students.
