The 50-minute workshop will provide an understanding of the barriers and opportunities available to undocumented or DACA students navigating college. It will encompass information about the national and state policies that create barriers in the path to graduation for this population. Through this workshop you will gain the skills and knowledge to support this population as allies and push for more representation and resources to create undocufriendly college environments.

This workshop will focus on:

Discussing misconceptions about the immigrant experience in the U.S.
Recognizing the immigration pathways and the policies that affect undocumented/DACA students
Describing issues that undocumented/DACA individuals face in Higher Education
Developing meaningful dialogue about the connections of undocufriendly institutions and social equity

*This Webinar is free for TEXAAN members and $10 for non-TEXAAN Members*
