- 3/2022: GRO was one of the organizers to hold a vigil to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine. Ona, GRO Co-Chair, shared her thought: “We see that the ongoing conflict has caused major displacement. This is a truly significant humanitarian crisis for the people of Ukraine,” she said. “The vigil was so emotional for a lot of people, especially those that were speaking in Ukrainian and singing the anthem.” Thank you very much to those who came. Check out the detailed article here on JHU News-Letter.
