    January 25, 2017 Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr. 2000 Market St., #1870 Philadelphia, PA 19103 Senator Pat Toomey 8 Penn Center 1628 John F Kennedy Blvd #1702 Philadelphia, PA 19103 Dear Senators Casey and Toomey, As presidents of Pennsylvania colleges and universities, we write to urge your co- sponsorship of the Bar Removal of Individuals Who Dream and Grow Our Economy (or BRIDGE) Act, introduced by Senators Durbin and Graham. We feel strongly that this bi- partisan legislation offers appropriate protection to hundreds of thousands of young people who strengthen our nation by pursuing educational and employment opportunities currently allowed by the DACA program. Among those supported by DACA are students who are thriving on our campuses, making significant contributions to our educational missions while preparing to advance our state's and our country's economic and social well- being. The BRIDGE Act therefore represents a noble and pragmatic expression of our national interest toward which we Pennsylvanians are passionately dedicated. Your co- sponsorship of this bill will send a powerful signal to our constituencies, the Senate, and the country that Pennsylvania stands behind those who work hard to improve society and supports a judicious approach to immigration status. Respectfully, Dr. Lex O. McMillan, III; Albright College Dr. James H. Mullen, Jr.; Allegheny College Dr, Thomas F. Flynn; Alvernia University Dr, Robert R. Johnson; The American College of Financial Services Dr. Nicolette Christensen; Arcadia University Dr. Kimberly E. Cassidy; Bryn Mawr College Dr. John C. Bravman; Bucknell University Dr. Donald B.
