Immigration represents opportunity for some, escape for others, and for many people, a threat. Throughout American history, immigrants have left their mark on this country, and continue to do so today. Coming to America: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Immigration, a one-day conference, will explore the past, present and future of immigration in America and Maine, including discussions of the many challenges that surround the issue.

Join us for Coming to America: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Immigration
