Europe’s Migration Crisis
March 21 | Noon | Room K2A | Klein Hall
More than one million migrants and refugees reached Europe’s shores in 2015.
Which Member State(s) should bear the responsibility of hosting refugees? How will this large influx impact Europe’s regional stability? Why are so many forced to flee for Europe’s shores?
