The Portland Public Schools' Multilingual and Multicultural Center hosted Beyond Borders: A Conference on Migration and Integration on Sept. 27 at the University of Southern Maine. The conference focused on the successful integration in the economic, social, cultural, and political life of immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants to the United States, specifically in Maine. Keynote address and breakout sessions were led by experts on immigration, PreK-16 education, workforce development, and health and social services.
