The Penn State Law Center of Immigrants' Rights, on behalf of the Interdisciplinary Roundtable on Immigration presents "Why State College? A Panel Discussion on the Immigration Raid in Our Community". The Center for Immigrants' Rights Clinic is led by Penn State Law professor Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia.
Food will be provided. Please RSVP to the Center for Immigrants' Rights.
At the Center, students produce white papers, practitioner toolkits, and primers of national impact on behalf of client organizations. Students have also led community legal education on remedies such as deferred action for childhood arrivals and options for immigrant survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The Center has also worked on individual cases involving immigration detainees. Working in teams, students build professional relationships with government and nongovernmental policymakers, academics, individual clients, and others.
The Interdisciplinary Roundtable on Immigration's objective is to build connections among research and service organizations who work with or conduct research about immigrants and immigration, and to raise awareness of resources available among the local community of scholars and service providers.
