Join us for a National Issues Forum on the U.S. immigration system. Students, members of the Suffolk community and the general public are invited to participate in a "democratic dialogue" moderated by Associate Professor Allan Tow. Participants will weigh the pros and cons of three policy options to find a shared understanding of the immigration issue and common ground for action, with an emphasis on getting past partisan rhetoric. Please come prepared to learn, listen and participate! Learn more about Suffolk's National Issues Forum Series.
