Key Academic Programs

A key element of the project was connecting programming to affiliated courses. Affiliated faculty taught courses related to the themes of migration, incarceration and exclusion. Students had the opportunity to connect their classroom learning to A Year on Angel Island programming and submit course projects for student awards
