Twice a year, students at Bentley College coordinate a day-long program that offers immigrants with green cards a fast and easy way to work through the citizenship application process. Students with a business background receive training from Immigration and Naturalization Services to run the program, collecting the necessary photographs and fingerprints, and helping immigrants properly file all necessary legal forms in order to expedite the application process. When the program was offered in April of 1998, students provided assistance to more than 140 immigrants from 32 countries.
