DREAM Center: Supporting Undocumented Students in Uncertain Times Episode 209

Today our hosts Ivan Sanchez and Chisa Uyeki are joined by Dario Fernandez, director of the DREAM center at Mt San Antonio College to have this critical conversation. Dario shares with us the barriers faced by undocumented students and students in mixed-status families, as well as how recent federal and local policy changes have reshaped these barriers. We also explore how faculty and staff can stay informed and take action to better support these students. Listen in for specific actions that we can each take to support students and develop an undoc-friendly campus culture.
