The War in Ukraine
As a global university with students, alumni, faculty, and staff from all over the world, we have a special responsibility to study and understand major world events like the War in Ukraine. Join us for discussions that will help us comprehend the unfolding events and their impact on the world now and in the future.
Professor Mark Kukis, PhD, a Fellow at the Quincy Institute and Professor of Social Sciences at Minerva, facilitated a conversation with Anton Korynevych about the prosecution of war crimes, aggression, crimes against humanity, and genocide. Dr. Korynevych is a Ukrainian attorney specializing in international humanitarian and criminal law. He was Ukraine’s representative to Crimea for the last three years and now represents Ukraine at the UN International Court of Justice in the Allegations of Genocide case.
More about Our Students Affected by the War
Students from Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring countries are more than 15 percent of our student body. We are supporting affected students in every way possible – academics, visas and travel, counseling, and finances. As many students cannot access funds or have lost financial support from their displaced families, we are supporting them through a Student Emergency Assistance Fund.
Another way to support students is by providing philanthropic support for our general scholarship fund. As you probably know, 80 percent of our students are on financial aid, including continuing and incoming students from Ukraine and Russia who will not have access to family funds to help pay for their education. If you wish to support students in this way, please email give@minerva.edu and someone will get in touch with you.
We are inspired by the courage and strength of our Ukrainian community.
