In support of our university’s values of 同情和包容, PAU is a member of the 高等教育和移民总统联盟, an association of universities that brings college and university presidents and chancellors together on immigration issues that affect higher education. As President, I recently had the opportunity to join 167 other university presidents and sign onto an 法庭之友的简要 in support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

法庭之友简报强调，DACA受助人在教育、医疗和创业等各个领域产生了积极影响。 它强调了保护他们追求教育和职业抱负的能力的重要性。

在PAU，我们认识到每个人的人性，并努力创造公正和包容的社区。 在我们出色的学生成功团队的支持下，并感谢Lisa Harris，我们的国际和退伍军人学生成功专家，我们努力工作以支持所有学生的成功。

I encourage you to read the 法庭之友的简要 and learn more about the important work being done to support DACA recipients. 支持DACA不仅仅是一个法律或政治问题； 这是对我们人类同胞的同情和同情。 Together, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, especially as we honor the contributions and resilience of women throughout history during Women's History Month.

感谢您一直以来对我们共同价值观的支持和承诺。

温暖的问候,

Maureen O ' connor
