Powerful and tragic images of refugees fleeing by boat, washing up on the beaches of Turkey and Greece, and demonstrating in European cities have called attention to a global refugee crisis that has been years in the making.

The panelists are as follows: J. Donald C. Galloway, Dr. Scott Watson, Dr. Amy Verdun, Dr. Sabine Lehr, Mr. Almontaser Aidhy, and Mr. Maher Boidany. Dr. Feng Xu will be the moderator.
