[Libs-Or] Victoria Cross: OLA Quarterly Author Showcase post

[Charles Wood]

Born in Russia, Victoria Cross graduated from the Moscow State University
of Culture with a B.A. in Library & Information Science, and a minor in
Nursing. She was chief librarian for the central library in a large Russian
city. She moved to Oregon in 1998 with her husband, Richard, and her
daughter, Olga. In 2011, Victoria founded, and remains the Chair of, the
Multnomah County Employee Resource Group for Immigrants and Refugees. The
group is the first of its kind in the United States, and it serves as a
teaching tool for other counties to increase awareness about immigrant and
refugee experiences in a work environment, as well as out in the community. In
her article, Victoria remembers when she first arrived in the United States
and joined a carpool to Portland from her home in Scappoose, Oregon.
Through listening, observing and trying to adapt to a new culture, she
learned about herself and the culture of her new country. Please download
and read this meaningful, real-life short story today.
