In June 2025, the Institute on Immigrant Integration Research and Policy at the Rockefeller Institute of Government hosted a virtual conference that examined the theme of “Engineering Cohesive Communities: Social Integration of Foreign-Born Americans,” and explored building inclusive communities through research, policy, and cross-sector collaboration. Key speakers included government leaders, policy makers, scholars, practitioners, and community organizers who shared personal stories, legislative initiatives, and models for social integration. They underscored the urgent need for inclusive governance and social integration of foreign-born Americans.
