Student leaders from UCSU hope that students can walk away from this event knowing about the issues surrounding this topic. "UCSU wants to make sure people understand that this problem exists and that it is about equal access to an education, not immigration," Hailee Koehler, Co-Director of Legislative Affairs for the UCSU, said. "We have made it our mission this year to work at promoting access and affordability to higher education for everyone. Who are we to say who gets a shot at bettering themselves through an education and who does not?"
