Education and Career UndocuDreams Made Possible.
Event Description
Undocumented students are an integral part of our community, and we believe that they are entitled to every opportunity to succeed. Community colleges play a pivotal role in providing these students with the education and resources they need to thrive. However, we recognize that many undocumented students continue to face significant barriers to employment and financial stability due to their immigration status. This year’s USAW theme focuses on leveraging our collective power to create meaningful change. We remain confident in our ability to develop innovative strategies that will foster educational and career opportunities for all students, regardless of their background. We are eager to work together to build a more inclusive and equitable system that opens the doors of success to all. Together, we can empower undocumented students to realize their full potential and achieve their dreams.
Why Attend USAW?
As the largest system serving undocumented students in the nation, our role in supporting their educational dreams is crucial. USAW provides a platform to:
- Raise awareness about challenges faced by undocumented students
- Discuss local, statewide and federal solutions
- Build a strong, collaborative ecosystem for student success
- Break down silos and promote a unified campus approach
We encourage administrators, faculty, staff and students who work with current and prospective undocumented students.
