Creighton University Arts and Sciences junior Lauren Fukuda and senior Kara Stockdale presented at the Ignatian Solidarity Network’s Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice focused on immigration, March 13-15 in Washington, D. C.
Fukuda spoke about her student experiences in lobbying and advocating for immigration reform. Stockdale focused on her internship last summer working at an immigrant worker center in Wisconsin.
Two additional students from Creighton also attended the event.
Apparently, they made a very good impression. Paul Homer, who teaches religion at Fordham Preparatory School in New York, encountered the Creighton group and found our students “filled with passion for justice and love for their school. They couldn't have been nicer to our students and were ideal role models for our boys.”
The Network ‘s purpose is to facilitate and enhance existing social justice and advocacy efforts in Jesuit-affiliated high schools, universities and colleges, parishes, organizations and individuals across the country. The teach-in is designed to discuss and reflect on various justice issues.
