Undocumented students are an integral part of our community, and we believe they are entitled to every opportunity to succeed. Community colleges play a pivotal role in providing all 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 leverages our collective power to create meaningful change. We remain confident in our ability to develop innovative strategies that 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.
