The International Night at Lincoln School was lively, with around 200-250 people attending, including 81 students who signed up via Google form. People from various countries, like Mexico, Japan, and Italy, brought delicious food to share. There was even a map where attendees could mark where they were from. It showed how diverse our community is. Also, we learned that 20.3% of Lincoln students qualify for free/reduced lunch, the highest in the district. Teachers at the Lincoln Elementary School thanked the University of Pittsburgh for its support.

Natural disasters, civil unrest, open conflict, and other unstable situations create challenges for healthcare providers. Clinicians and support personnel face potentially dangerous conditions as they provide physical and mental health care services to communities where authority and infrastructure have broken down. A diverse panel of speakers will describe their experiences addressing healthcare provision during complex humanitarian emergencies in Ukraine, Haiti, and Gaza.
Olena Boryshpolets (PiNTS Scholar) and Anouar Rahmani have written and produced (and act in) their original play, I'm Sorry, I Don't Understanding. Performed in multiple languages, the play tells the story of a Ukrainian woman and an Algerian man who arrive in Pittsburgh and accidentally become neighbors, but live their pain in solitude. One day they realize that in order to move on, it is vital for them to tell each other their stories.
This event is an opportunity for the UCIS EAB members, our many UCIS partners, and UCIS staff to mingle, connect, and share programming opportunities, partnerships and updates.
