Eagleton Program on Immigration and Democracy

The Eagleton Program on Immigration and Democracy (EPID) leverages the resources of New Jersey’s flagship public research university to explore challenges and opportunities stemming from significant levels of immigration—across the state, the region, the nation, and the world. The program has used scholarly research, public education, and community service to advance this goal. Its name reflects the close intertwining of immigration and democracy as central themes in the American experience. The program aims to enhance the knowledge base and policy framework that are essential to the growth and prosperity of our state, region, and nation.
