Bojana Zoric Martinez will deliver the 2023 John Kenneth Kyle Lecture at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 27, 2023 in the Summers Auditorium in the UW-Whitewater University Center. The lecture will be preceded by a reception and refreshments at 5:00 p.m. This event is free and the public is invited to attend.

Ms. Martinez is the Director of the Bureau of Refugee Programs and the Wisconsin State Refugee Coordinator. She will address the impact of the combined dynamics of government policy and support, and nonprofit service provision and advocacy, on refugees in the United States. Ms. Martinez, herself a former refugee, brings both personal and professional insights to the discussion.

John Kenneth Kyle, a 1922 UW-Whitewater alumnus, established the lecture series to bring outstanding speakers with a strong connection to Wisconsin to the UW-Whitewater campus. This year, the lecture is co-sponsored by the Department of Politics, Government, and Law and the Institute for Nonprofit Management Studies to demonstrate the connections between policy and direct service, and how government and nonprofits work together.
