James King from IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund shares about his recent visit to Lebanon as part of a study on the Syrian refugee crisis and its impact on higher education. "As the conflict enters its fourth year, the situation is as bleak as ever," writes King. "Tens of thousands of Syrian faculty and university students have fled the violence to neighboring countries like Lebanon." King identifies challenges faced by Syrian students seeking to pursue university education in Lebanon and abroad and offers recommendations for the international community to help address these challenges.
