What we want, what we need, what we have: knowing our rights in uncertain times, 4/24

Topics

About

This session will feature a panel of campus experts who will examine the theoretical, personal and legal dimensions of federal actions on immigration as they impact our campus, contextualizing them within broader work for belonging, academic freedom and social justice. We will explore what protections exist, where and how to advocate, and how to mobilize around our values. With insights from campus experts, this session will provide actionable strategies to leverage our network of resources and connections towards collective action.
