Are you addressing the Migrant crisis in Chicago in any way?

If you have responded to the current migrant crisis in Chicago (through direct service, in the classroom, through research, advocacy, etc.), please help DePaul by responding to Just DePaul’s brief survey so we can compile an inventory of actions by DePaul community members and consider institutional coordination for efforts in addition to the work consistently being done by areas like DePaul’s Asylum & Immigration Law Clinic and the DePaul Migration Collaborative as well as within courses throughout the university.
