General Counsel, Sharmaine LaMar, participates on a panel at the 2022 SUCCESS Convening.
The Sanctuary Committee envisions Swarthmore as a place where all students, regardless of immigration status, have the same opportunities to learn, live, and enjoy full membership in the College community.
Our task is to identify and remedy areas of College programming and/or practice in which we are not yet fulfilling this vision. If you have a question about how to support undocumented students in your work, don't hesitate to reach out to one of the members, below.
