On March 10, 2023, the FGE team presented at the 7th Annual Keeping the Dream Alive Conference, hosted by California State University, Sacramento.
Our presentation, titled Putting on Your Undocu-Lens: How to Advocate for Undocumented Students in Higher Education, highlighted how different forms of advocacy can collectively help bring institutional and state-level change for undocumented students. In the continued absence of federal immigration reform, we believe it is critical that schools and colleges are well-equipped to support their undocumented student populations.
The presentation was co-led by Arabi Hassan, Co-Founder and Co-Director of FGE, Sarah Kim, Director of Partnerships and Community Engagement at FGE, and Ariana Aparicio Aguilar, a member of FGE’s inaugural Working Professionals Advisory Board.
We look forward to our continued participation in undocumented student-focused and other education equity conferences!
