We are the first campus chapter of the Hearts of Mercy Foundation, a non-profit that supports people seeking to advance mercy, justice and kindness in their communities.
Hearts of Mercy at UCI intends to raise awareness for the global refugee crisis and create higher education opportunities in the UC system for students displaced by conflict.
To raise awareness, we will hold a campuswide Refugee Awareness Week in January 2018. The theme will be "Refugee Narratives" and will include a panel with refugee and asylee students and scholars, workshops, a keynote event, and a gathering with local refugees.
To create higher education opportunities, we will pilot and fundraise for our "Refugee Students Scholarship Program" to provide financial grants to need-based asylum seekers, refugees and asylees in the UC system. We are hopeful that this program will inspire the UC system to join the IIE Syria Consortium to create academic seats for students displaced by conflict. We will also assist students displaced by conflict with their UC applications and their preparation for the TOEFL exam.
