Each year, Manor College is proud to host two Ukraine Dialogue speakers series programs where members of the Manor campus, Ukrainian, Ukrainian-American, and American communities join together to discuss critical political, religious, humanitarian, and other social issues that face Ukraine. The dialogues are in-person and virtual, engaging, purposeful, and compassionate regarding Ukraine and its people.
