International Institute of New England (IINE) Golden Door Award Tribute Video

It is with great joy that we learned that the International Institute of New England (IINE)  recently raised over $1 million at its Golden Door Awards event honoring MIT President Dr. L. Rafael Reif.  We had the pleasure of creating a tribute video in his honor.

 


In my opinion, one excerpt from Dr. Reif’s speech perfectly sums up the value that immigrants bring to our community:

In a nation like ours, immigration is a kind of oxygen, each fresh wave reenergizing the body as a whole. As a society, when we offer to immigrants the gift of opportunity, we receive in return vital fuel for our shared future.

Please stay tuned for a second video we will be creating in celebration of IINE’s 100 years of welcoming new Americans!
