Projects
Cultural Orientation Resource (COR) Center
Funder: U.S. Department of State; Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration
October 2004 – December 2009
The COR Center develops and disseminates materials that help refugee newcomers understand fundamental aspects of life in the United States: housing, community services, transportation, health, employment, and cultural adjustment. The COR Center also produces culture profiles on the people, history, and culture of different refugee groups to help U.S. service providers understand new refugee populations.
