Dear Students,
At some point in your past, immigration may have been an integral part of your family history. In so many ways, it is destined to be a part of your future. There are two ways you can frame your personal immigration story while participating in the upcoming Notre Dame Forum on Immigration Monday, Oct. 8.
Be part of the Forum dialogue. Through the Forum Web site, forum.nd.edu, you can submit a question about the issue of Immigration. Ten student questions will be selected for this two-hour discussion; the 10 student authors of the questions will be asked to deliver them to panelists.
Be part of the Forum story project. Also at forum.nd.edu, a feature "What's Your Story?" asks you to share your family's history. Already, several students, alumni, faculty and staff have helped create this body of personal histories. Please join those voices.
The Forum is from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 8 in the Joyce Center Arena. Classes will be canceled during that period so all may attend.
Sincerely,
The Forum Committee
