Topic: Immigrant students' access and success in higher education: concrete steps for Minnesota's future
The Citizens League has been invited to host the Immigration Community Roundtable event in June. This will be an opportunity to discuss the findings and recommendations of the forthcoming report of our Study Committee on Immigration and Higher Education and to speak with others in the community working on and living with these issues.
Speakers will briefly present the findings and recommendations of the Citizens League study committee, then we will have an open discussion on policy options for the future.
For more information, contact Annie Levenson-Falk (alevensonfalk [at] citizensleague.org or 651-293-0575, ext. 16).
