UndocuAlly Training: Being an Ally to Undocumented Students
As part of Undocumented Student Week of Action 2023
Monday, October 16, 2:00pm - 3:00pm, Diablo Room
Undocumented students are often reluctant to share their immigration status with college
staff, faculty, and administrators in fear of deportation and discrimination. As a
result, most undocumented students are unaware of the programs and services that may
assist them or receive incorrect information about resources that are available to
them. Part of the challenge is that immigration policies are complex in nature and
consistent training is necessary in order to stay abreast of all the legal and political
implications in assisting undocumented students. Since 2015, the DREAMERs Alliance
began developing the UndocuAlly Training and Ally Sticker Program. We invite you to
join us for this interactive discussion and to learn about the history, legislation,
challenges, and current/future realities of this student community. This workshop
will provide updates on DACA and resources available in the current environment.
