Project SEARCH, Immigration Matters

Host, Gale Seiler, spoke with Linda Lind, the Director of Project SEARCH at ISU, and Maegan McColley, who is an intern with the Project. The program provides campus internships for young people with disabilities, and they are having a Business Summit to forge partnerships with businesses interested in employing graduates of the program.

Ursula Ruedenberg interviewed Reverend Dr. David Vasquez-Levy, President of the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California, who will hold a dialogue on Friday evening with Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller about reframing our societal and legal approach to immigration. This event is part of the annual Theologian in Residency Weekend organized by the United Church of Christ in Ames. This year’s theme is Immigration Matters: Joined Together, Finding Solutions.

Crystal Davis, from the Ames Convention and Visitors Bureau, was delayed by snowy roads, so we shared information on upcoming local events, which Crystal sent to us.
