Virtual Workshop with City University of New York

We are pleased to announce the availability of this free virtual workshop, which is a collaboration between the Initiative on Immigration and Education (CUNY-IIE), VTUS’s Office of Multilingual Students Services, and the Center for Teaching & Learning Innovation.

Communities and schools are shaped and strengthened by the migration of people and ideas across the globe. The City University of New York – Initiative on Immigration and Education (CUNY-IIE) creates opportunities for educational stakeholders to learn from immigrant students, families, and educators directly impacted by restrictive immigration policies and educational inequality. We aim to develop multimodal and multilingual resources that center the strengths of mixed status immigrant communities that include undocumented, refugee, asylum-seeking members, and Students of Color.

Thus, learn, act and advocate for an equitable education for immigrant students and their families! During this 90-minute interactive session, Sunisa Nuonsy, a CUNY-IIE instructor, will provide an overview of CUNY-IIE’s grounding principles and the multimodal and multilingual resources that have been developed for educators to use with colleagues, students, families, and community members. CUNY-IIE is a New York State Education Department-funded project that unifies educators, researchers, families, and local leaders to learn about, from, and with immigrant communities, to act in ways that center our shared humanity regardless of legal status, and advocate for equitable policies and opportunities.

We invite inquiries regarding the application of this topic’s insights to Vermont State, Vermont State University, and its services to multilingual, multicultural students.
