Resources Web site can expect to find a
completely revamped layout that offers

announcements and memos; and “Search

was an awesome experience to work with

project,” said Gary Helmuth, director
of Information Management and Technologies

like the changes they find on our site.” Full

The
University of Virginia’s Center for
Comparative Medicine will be recognized
today as this year’s
winner of the International Rescue Committee
Employer
Leadership Award.
The IRC is a nonprofit organization dedicated
to assisting people who must flee their
countries of origin due to violence and
war or racial, religious and ethnic persecution.
The IRC’s Charlottesville office
helps about 150 refugees per year to settle
in the area and find employment. To date,
the U.Va. center has provided placement
for fifteen
refugees. Today’s recognition coincides
with the celebration of World Refugee
Day.
