From: MARGARET PETERS
Subject: NBC Article about Kevin Brame
My sister, Rosemary Brame, has been working for years trying to get some national publicity about her son Kevin's unsolved murder. Two months ago, she read an article by Jackie Montalvo about another mother's search for justice on NBCnews.com. She contacted Ms Montalvo at that time about Kevin, was interviewed by her a couple of weeks ago and they have exchanged several emails. It's a pretty good article, a couple of misquotes. She actually has seen the boys since the murder, of course, but not under normal circumstances since 1999. But, we are so grateful for Jackie's interest and for the national news. The article will be on NBC's Facebook and Twitter accounts as well. Here is the link –

Subject: (Nov. 9) Forum this Thursday 4:30 to discuss plans for immigrant/refugee initiatives
A group of us working on developing community-engaged learning around the issue of migration/refugees thought it would be a good idea to use opportunity of our conference to interact with each other and interested scholar/practitioners attending the conference.

Title: Migrant and Refugee Issues in Dayton: Developing a Local Response
Authors: The Global to Local Refugee and Immigrant Partnership, the University Immigration Working Group
Abstract: This is an open forum to engage with local advocates who are developing plans involving University of Dayton faculty, staff, and students; local NGOs, government agencies, and advocates; and the migrant and refugee community. The idea is to provide a "mini think tank" or "brainstorming session" where information is shared and connections are made in order to strengthen the local response.
Topics to be considered: developing relevant service/experiential learning courses, coordinating an applied research agenda, identifying barriers to thriving, building capacity of local NGOs and government agencies, providing tools to overcome barriers, community organizing, outreach, advocacy, and public education.
