Claudia on Immigration

Honors senior Claudia Benitez, a double major in economics and business, presented on a panel entitled Immigration Policy this morning with students from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Pace University, and Towson University.  Claudia’s paper, “Immigration: Evaluating the Free Rider Problem,” is a product of a long term collaboration with CNR economics professor Dr. Jorge Medina that began with her work during Honors Junior Colloquium last year. Claudia fielded questions after her presentation from the many students and faculty who attended the session, generating a lively dialogue about her data analysis regarding immigrants in the United States and the misconceptions about them.
