Alumnus has top Twitter account to follow on immigration

Paul McDaniel, who completed a doctorate in geography and urban regional analysis from UNC Charlotte, has one of 11 Twitter accounts to follow on skilled immigration reform, according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).

The association noted that McDaniel’s Twitter account offers a “well-curated view of state, national and international factors in the immigration reform debate.” His account was cited along with those of U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Jeff Flake and N.Y. Times correspondent Julia Preston.

An Immigrant Entrepreneur and Innovation Fellow at the Immigration Policy Center in Washington, D.C., McDaniel worked on several community-based research projects with the Department of Family Medicine at Carolinas Medical Center, Levine Museum of the New South, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Crossroads Charlotte, Latin American Coalition and Community Building Initiative, while completing his Ph.D.
