Fordham IPED Summer Lecture Series: Sean Kenney, IPED ’15, Jesuit Refugee Services

The Jesuit Refugee Services’ (JRS) mission is to accompany, serve, and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons, that they may heal, learn, and determine their own future. JRS programs are currently found in 56 countries, serving refugees and other forcibly displaced persons in conflict zones and detention centers, on remote borders and in busy cities.

Sean Kenney, IPED’15, is the director of operations in South Sudan, where there are currently more than 4.3 million refugees, internally-displaced persons, and asylum-seekers. Kenney will be sharing the work JRS is doing in South Sudan and the challenges faced in the region. Prior to JRS, Sean worked with the Catholic Relief Services serving in Lebanon, Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza, and Uganda.
