Minnesota's workforce is
shrinking relative to the size of its population, and too few Minnesota students are
graduating from higher education to fill the gap left by retiring baby boomers
and new job growth. The number of immigrant students in Minnesota, however, is
growing. To meet the economic demand, Minnesota will need more immigrant students to
complete some form of higher education.
Join us
to discuss the findings and recommendations of the Citizens League's Study
Committee on Immigration and Higher Education.
With:
- Matt Musel, member of the study committee, development officer for the University of MN, and volunteer who works with college-age Latino students.
- Juventino Meza, student at Augsburg College
- Kyle Uphoff, Regional Analysis and Outreach Manager at the Dept. of Employment and Economic Development
- James Worlobah, co-chair of the study committee and budget analyst at Augsburg College
- Amanda Ziebell-Finley, member of the study committee and membership and events manager at the Minnesota College Access Network
