Grant Rissler, assistant professor of organizational studies and chair of nonprofit studies, presented “Barriers to the Integration of Virginia’s Immigrants” as part of the January 16 Advocates for Intercultural RVA (AIRVA) meeting.
The meeting is a quarterly gathering of organizations and individuals who serve refugees and immigrants and advocate for intercultural awareness in the Richmond region. The presentation drew from the report of the same name that Rissler co-authored with VCU’s Saltanat Liebert.
