Years ago @wesleyan_u began admitting more #DACA students who have contributed so much to our campus. In 2016, we declared ourselves a sanctuary campus. Today, we are cheered by #DACADecision but know we still have to defend our friends & neighbors in the political arena! Retweeted by Wesleyan University
