What does it mean to be an immigrant?



Tonight, CHISPAS will host an event called "CAFE CULTURAL:What does it mean to be an immigrant?"

It will be from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at La Casita (next to Chipotle on University Avenue).
The full address is 1504 W. University Ave.



Here's the description of the event which that I received in an e-mail:

"Have you ever wondered what it is like to be an immigrant? Have you ever wondered why these individuals came to the United States in the first place? Perhaps for the chance at a better life, more opportunities, or a change in routine and culture? The reasons are endless. Come hear UF students speak about their journeys to the U.S and then learn about how YOU can get involved with immigration issues that may affect us each and every day. Remember, "the great aim of education in not only knowledge but action." Guest speakers: Migrant Education Program - Victoria Gomez de La Torre Harvest of Hope - President- Philip Kellerman CHISPAS - Bianca Gras and Eliana Torres Don't miss out! Refreshments and Snacks will be provided!"

I really want to go but unfortunately I have a big test on Friday and would feel guilty not studying tonight. However, the least I can do is share the information!
