Our Innovation Exchange is an opportunity to engage in an evening of discussion, debate, and dialogue on a crucial social issue. We interact with experts who are working to transform the issue from a variety of different perspectives. This year, we will have individuals working on bipartisan immigration legislation and people working on the ground on immigration issues speak before breaking up into groups where everyone can participate. *We encourage everyone attending to RSVP on Eventbrite <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/trumps-first-year-impressions-on-immigration-a…> so we can guarantee enough seats and dinner. Those who RSVP via Eventbrite <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/trumps-first-year-impressions-on-immigration-a…> by Nov 8th are entered into a $25 gift card raffle. **Students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome and encouraged to attend!* Additionally, we are looking for anyone who can express their personal narratives in relation to immigration to be exhibited at the event. Stories can be about an individual or someone in their family who migrated with or without the documentation, and how they or their family have experienced migration shifts. *We are interested in all perspectives.* We will be collecting submissions in the form of writing, visual arts, and short videos to be displayed at the event. Submissions will be accepted until Nov 9th. Please send all submissions to info(a)cerru.org with subject line: Immigration Narrative. If more time is needed, please let us know.

Volunteer Application Readers Needed
by Moira E Egan 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Dear all, For the past three years, Queens College has been a partner institution with the Asian pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund. This organization has provided generous scholarships to a number of our students each year, as well as offering them mentoring and other professional development opportunities. As part of this collaboration, APIASF asks for volunteer application readers from each partner institution. The training and reading are all done online, and the system is very user friendly. I've attached a flier with information about how to register as a reader, and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. I have found it very rewarding both to work with our applicants and to read applications from other institutions. Best, Moira ~ Moira E. Egan, Ph.D. National Fellowships Advisor Office of Honors and Scholarships Rm. 23 Honors Hall Queens College, CUNY (718) 997-2863
