Students to research conditions at SDC

Written By Patti Ghezzi

El Refugio is excited to welcome two summer interns from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky: Ximena Tamariz and Maria Sanchez. Ximena and Maria plan to have careers as immigration lawyers and will spend the summer reporting on conditions inside SDC. They will also design mini-galleries for the hospitality house to showcase artwork by people detained there, an extension of work initiated by Dr. Kristen Kolenz, an assistant professor of international studies at Centre. Kristen previously partnered with El Refugio on two ambitious projects, authoring our 2021 Cage of Fear report and co-curating our 2022 Breaking Out art exhibit at Brown University.

Welcome Ximena and Maria!
