UH-IRAC is a volunteer group of faculty, staff and students active around immigration and refugee issues within the UH system and beyond. We are working with President Lassner's UH system task force to support: students' rights and resources, establishment of safe zones, and professional development and training at all campuses. We embrace the University of HawaiÊ»i System motto: Maluna aÊ»e o nÄ lÄhui a pau ke ola ke kanaka (Above all nations is humanity). Contact: irac.uh@gmail.com
