Undocumented Students Action Week

Event Details

Building Bridges: Systemic Solutions To Support Undocumented Students The fifth annual Undocumented Student Action Week will be held October 18-22, 2021. This year also marks the twentieth anniversary of Assembly Bill 540, the landmark legislation that opened the doors of higher education to thousands of undocumented students by removing the burden of out-of-state tuition. Please join us for a special conversation featuring Acting Chancellor Dr. Daisy Gonzales, Chancellor Dr. Joseph I. Castro, President Dr. Michael V. Drake, and President Kristen Soares that will highlight systemwide efforts to support AB 540 students and discuss shared commitments to continue addressing challenges that remain in order to support the success of all of our undocumented students. Event Details: System Leader Panel October 18 at 1:00 pm Register for the System Leader Panel   Undocumented Student Action Week Systemwide Webinars In the last five years, our collective budget and legislative advocacy during Undocumented Student Action Week has led to funding for Dream Resource Centers and Liaisons, the establishment of an Immigration Legal Services Project, the expansion of AB 540 eligibility, and the protection of DACA. We know all too well that change is important every day of the year, not just during action week. This year’s theme, “Change in Action” empowers us to engage in state, federal, and local action to support undocumented students in their goal of earning a college education. We must think about the ways we can cultivate and empower change that is long lasting. During Undocumented Student Action Week, the California Community Colleges will be hosting a system webinar every day at 1:00 pm. Event Details: Systemwide Webinars October 19–22 at 1:00 pm Register for the Systemwide Webinars   We look forward to this year’s advocacy week.
