Immigration Panel Speakers

DU’s Strategic Issues Program has engaged several academic and professional experts and thoughtful advocates to present to the Immigration Issues Panel. The speakers will provide in-depth knowledge of the subject matter.

 

  

As the sources of information from which the Strategic Issues Panel will draw its findings and recommendations, presenters obviously play a key role in the process.
