Visit from Representative Mary Lou Marzian!

As a follow-up to Refugee Advocacy Day in Frankfort, State Representative Mary Lou Marzian came to speak at the Louisville Refugee Elder Program! Many students in the program attended Refugee Advocacy Day in Frankfort and were excited to meet and speak with another representative. While at the program Representative Marzian discussed her basic duties and responsibilities as a state level representative.

Throughout her presentation students were able to ask her questions about Frankfort, her job, and obtaining citizenship.
