Global Migration:
Best Practices for Business and Society in a Changing World
by Dr. Marcelo Suárez-Orozco

One of every 35 people on the planet is working, living or moving across national borders: What is the impact of globalization and immigration on businesses around the world?

• What policies and practices are needed to support these over 200 million international immigrants as they adapt to new societies?
• How does the immigrant gross domestic product (GDP) of roughly one trillion dollars - for US-based Latinos alone - impact the United States?
• How will U.S. immigrants and their U.S.-born descendants become informed citizens, with the requisite skills and sensibilities?

Dr. Marcelo Suárez-Orozco will show us why this wave of immigration is vastly different from previous ones and discuss profound implications for every facet of business and society. As a world-renowned lecturer, he will share the top-level information that has informed business and political leaders from the United Nations to the Vatican. Because understanding the scope of immigration is only the first step, he will also provide resources and innovative strategies about “best practices” to speed adjustment by both immigrants and current citizens. Dr. Marcelo Suárez-Orozco is a distinguished scholar and lecturer on immigration, globalization and education. He is the co-founder of the Harvard Immigration Projects and is currently the Richard Fisher Membership Fellow, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and the Courtney Sale Ross University Professor of Globalization and Education at New York University.
