Boston College, founded 150 years ago to educate the children of Boston immigrants, has embarked on a new initiative to help foreign-born persons make a successful transition into American democratic society.
The Immigrant Integration Lab (IIL), housed at the University's Graduate School of Social Work and under the direction of Westy Egmont, is a unique applied research lab that addresses the critical issue of immigrant inclusion. The IIL draws on academic and clinical expertise to provide resources, studies and leadership to national working groups, local agencies and professional leadership that focus on immigrant integration.
