The INVSTÌýProgram's Summer Field Studies are Life-Changing

ÌýÌýWe stayed with undocumented families in Chicago, while learning about the history of the immigrants' rights movement. I went to my first protest that summer, and the following year got involved organizing around the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ ASSET Bill (to allow undocumented Coloradans to receive in-state tuition, which ultimately passed two or three years later). It was transformative.ÌýÌýÌý
