    Join us on Friday to discuss the findings and recommendations of the study committee
      Humboldt Students at Graduation
    Over the past two years, two Citizens League study committees have examined the barriers to success in higher education for Minnesota's growing immigrant student body. This Friday, we will release the committees' final report.

    Members of the study committee will join an analyst from the Dept. of Employment and Economic Development to talk about why this issue is important and what should be done to reduce the barriers that exist. The speakers will share some of their personal stories, and there will be plenty of time for Q&A.

    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 DEED
    • James Worlobah, co-chair of the study committee and budget analyst at Augsburg College
    • Amanda Ziebell-Finley, member of the study committee and program associate at the Minnesota College Access Network
