UNDOCUMENTED AND REFUGEE STUDENT SUCCESS SUMMIT
ƒÜ¿PLEASE MAKE SURE TO RSVP FOR OUR STUDENT SUCCESS SUMMITƒÜ¿
The First-Gen+ Center supports students who are from historically underrepresented backgrounds in higher education, and their allies,ÔÇ»while specificallyÔÇ»centeringÔÇ» our work in promoting the success and well-being of college students who identify asÔÇ»first-generation, who identify as undocumented, have refugee status, and those who have families with limited income. More specifically, we strive to address barriers and challenges negatively impacting these student communities by creating attainment disparatities and inequaties of opportunities as they navigate their journeys throught complex education systems. Subsequently the purpose of this gathering is to help each participant with deepening their work, elevate our respective efforts, and institutionalize initiatives from holistic and comprehensive lenses such as student development and intersectionality, best practices and positionality, and student-center and evidence-driven solutions to implement sustainable and inclusive changes.
Through this summit we will address issues concerning social justice, equality, humanitarian and immigration landscape, and attainment disparities in student success. Participants will engage in thought-provoking conversations based on positionality to expand our knowledge, be able to ask questions to develop a more comprehensive understanding of this topic, and conclude our time by developing tangible and measurable goals that are relevant to our respective roles as we continue to promote safe, inclusive, and supportive learning opportunities to undocumented and refugee students – a true commitment to inclusive excellence.
Reserve your spot ASAP!!
