From the Judges' Report
Judges applaud Pomona College for the leadership role it played in launching the Support Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) campaign. With the fate of DACA uncertain, the institution developed a statement in support of DACA students and proactively sought support from other college and university presidents. Pomona College also had an effective news media strategy that increased the visibility of the campaign and, ultimately, its effectiveness.
