The person I hope to contact to speak on this subject is Fadumo Adan. Fadumo
graduated from University of Colorado Denver in 2014 with a degree in Sociology. She came to

I will be presenting to a group of seniors. I will be conducting the seminar during lunch
available 8th period because that is what works best in the interest of time. There are many
students that are interested in immigration policy and reform that I thought it would be beneficial
to talk to someone who has a lifetime worth of experience on the subject. I think my peers can
benefit from this seminar because immigration was a big topic in the 2016 election. This will give
myself and my peers a more global understanding of immigration and what that means around
the world. My seminar will be a little different because it will be a lunch with Fadumo.
