Iowa State Student Government released a statement regarding the federal government’s plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, showing support for our students on campus who are affected, but one senator is going above and beyond for the cause. 

At the town hall meeting on Tuesday, Student Government senator and Director of Diversity and Inclusion Julian Neely presented his plan for an event he’s calling Donuts for DACA.

“In Diversity and Inclusion, we really want to put a focus on DACA and so we’re working on Donuts for DACA,” said Neely. “Students can write a letter to one of our state representatives, bring it, and get a Krispy Kreme Donut. There’s no Krispy Kreme in Ames, so this really brings incentive to get involved with it.”

Neely highlighted during the meeting DACA being a major focus for the year, to rally support for the students on campus who may be affected by this, and calling action to participate in our local government in response.
