4 Crucial Tips on the Ending of DACA

The DACA program allows undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as minors to apply for a renewable two-year work permit and shields them from deportation. The outcome of this decision may have a significant impact on our students who have relied on the DACA program as a temporary solution to their immigration status.

Our students have the right to attend school without the fear of detention and/or deportation.

The counseling center is a safe space on our campus for our community who may be experiencing trauma and various emotions can receive support and resources.

Our friends at http://studentswithoutlimits.org/ have been a great help to our students and their families.
