In Support of Ukraine: Community Resources, Upcoming Events
This young child stood resolutely with her Ukrainian flag held high at the community rally for Ukraine.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sparked outrage and an outpouring of support for Ukraine’s citizens from around the world.
Davidson College and surrounding communities continue to organize events and curate resources in an effort to aid Ukrainians, raise awareness of the crisis and educate those who want to know more about Russia, Ukraine and the historical and cultural context around this unprovoked conflict.
This page is a non-exhaustive list of the resources and events being organized on campus and nearby. We will continue to update this as new information and opportunities to show support for Ukraine become available.
