[S3E6] Mike Spence and Mowlid of Athletics United | Somalia

Seeking Refuge

Episode Notes

This week, we talk with Mike Spence and Mowlid of Athletics United in Logan, Utah. Mike is the executive director of the program, and Mowlid is a student from Somalia who participates in it. They foster community building, especially offering resources and connections for the refugee students in their town. Mike and Mowlid tell us what the club does, how it helps, and what college students can do to get involved with refugees in their own communities.
