About 55 students, prospective students and faculty members attended the event. President Donald Trump announced the end of the program, which protected undocumented child immigrants from deportation as long as they maintained certain requirements and lacked significant criminal history, in early September. However, DACA will only officially dissolve on March 5, 2018. Business Dean Scott DeRue gave the opening remarks, citing the conversation’s importance and the school’s lawful responsibility to support students. “There are two guiding principles to every decision that we make as a University and as a business school,” DeRue said. “First, we have to be lawful. Second, everything that we do with the law is going to be student-centric and student- focused. We will do everything in our lawful power to support you.” Panelist Jesse Hoffnung- Garskof, associate professor of History and American Culture, then moved to debriefing the history of DACA and the societal gaps in American immigration policy. He also noted that illegal immigration peaked in 2007 and that since then, immigrant migration has been a net negative. “From my perspective, because immigration reform over the last 30 years has focused almost exclusively on enforcement and criminalization, the population that is now undocumented faces a wider gap (or as wide a gap as has ever existed in this country) between people of different statuses,” Hoffnung-Garskof said. “You can think of immigration law as the law of determining who and how people get in, or you can think of immigration law as the law of determining how people of different statuses have different access to rights and benefits.” The panel then moved to a discussion of legal parameters by Rebeca Ontiveros-Chavez, attorney and Department of Justice-accredited representative for the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, who said she herself is a former DACA recipient. Ontiveros- Chavez explained how the removal of DACA will affect recipients’ higher education, driving, travel, finances and other means. “In terms of driving after the DACA resignation, if you have a Michigan driver’s license, a Michigan driver’s license is only valid in the same period as you have proof of legal status,” she said. “Once your proof of legal status expires, the license is no longer valid, unless you obtain another form of legal presence under Michigan law.” LSA junior Daniel Lopez said he works with undocumented students on campus and plans to use what he learned at the panel to assist the groups he works with. “I am an advocate for immigration reform, so what we do is gather all of the information we can and then get this information to our community to have them call their elected representatives,” Lopez said. “We should have a clean DREAM Act.” For those who are facing anxiety over the termination of DACA, Business graduate student Elizabeth Padilla, vice president of the HSBA, gave advice on attempting to live a normal life while encountering immigration challenges.

December 9, 1983 — When the pressure of final exams gets too intense for LSA junior Shelly McNamara, she punches out her stuffed animals. LSA sophomore David Pascal and his roommates drove his car through the East Engineering arch Wednesday night just to release some study tension. Residence hall staffs attributed a monstrous snowball fight between nearly 150 students from Markley, Couzens, and Mosher Jordan dormitories Tuesday night to pre- finals anxiety. And even the most restrained students might let loose a primal scream to make it through late nights of cramming a neglected semester’s worth of reading into only a few hours. While today marked the last day of classes, it also signifies the start of the most intense days of the semester. Study days — the University’s gift of time to students before the final exam anvil falls on their fact-filled heads — put students in their own world of study anxiety. It is a time when students live on caffeine and candy bars, when they disappear into campus libraries to master academic feats such as learning a semester of organic chemistry in 48 hours. “You push yourself to the limit (during study days),” said Jennifer Clark, an Alice Lloyd resident adviser. “You push yourself farther than you thought you could.” The darker side of people’s personalities emerge during finals week. Tempers grow short. Vision narrows to immediate study goals as each student struggles with his or her own feelings of panic. Students walking the tightrope of pressure during study days find different ways to release tension — some more unusual than others. LSA sophomore Melissa McDaniel plays with eight wind-up Smurf dolls and tries to get the toys all walking at the same time. Some of her friends pull out crayons and coloring books to cope with final exam pressures. By tackling such simple tasks, students can build their confidence, she said. Winding up dolls “is not too tough, and it’s something I know I can do,” said McDaniel. Sometimes it’s worth doing these things just for a laugh, she added. “You don’t get to laugh much during finals week. Unless you stay up late and get giddy,” she said. McNamara, the South Quad RA who abuses stuffed animals, said she picked up odd strategies for coping with finals pressure from a former resident director who told her to throw plastic glasses against the wall. Pascal, the bold LSA sophomore who ran his car through the Engineering arch said students become crazier during exams to combat the tense atmosphere on campus. “You do fun things you wouldn’t do under normal situations to counteract the effects of sitting in the library,” he said. Lisa Koppelberger, who was doing last-minute work on a paper at the Graduate Library last night, said the competitive nature of the University is partly to blame for the pressure during finals week. Although the LSA junior said she isn’t too concerned with grades, there is still the feeling that “you hope everyone else is having as much trouble as you are.” “EVERY conversation you hear is about finals,” she said. Becoming too preoccupied with studying however, can be hazardous to your health, according to University Senior Counselor Tom Morson. Students can become so overwhelmed by their study anxiety they begin to link their academic performance to their self esteem, he said. Students can put so much emphasis on their grades that marks begin to define their self worth, Morson said. An “A” paper means the student is an “A” person, and depression balloons as the grade drops.
