Meet Our UndocuAllies

Navigating through the world of higher education might not always be easy. There are often challenges that are presented to you along the way, which may require you to reach out for help. Therefore, as we have learned, having a strong foundation created by a genuine support system can make a difference not only in one’s educational journey but also in their personal lives. As we continue to learn from one another on how we can better support each other, we dedicate this page to highlight those who have already begun to take the steps to ensure that they learn what it means to form part of your support network.

The goal of this page is to make accessible to you the names and departments where you can find support. Rest assured that the allies listed here have taken the initiative of participating in Undocu Ally Training  and committing to supporting the success of our undocumented  and mixed-status students.
