CRIS is happy to accommodate the community’s requests for speakers on various topics and the needs
of researchers and students for information and contact with refugee and immigrant populations.  As a
non-profit organization, though, we have limited resources, and are unable to offer as much free
assistance to the community as we would like.

We regret that we must ask that those requesting such assistance consider making a donation to CRIS to
cover the agency’s costs in providing the service.  Those who are unable to make a donation are offered
the option of volunteering for the agency for a brief length of time.

Those who are interested in arranging for a speaker or making contact with individual refugees and
immigrants for the purpose of research are invited to contact Jane McGrew, Community Liaison, at
jmcgrew@cris-ohio.com or 235-5747.
