This year’s theme is “Education and Career UndocuDreams Made Possible.” The week-long event aims to create an environment that promotes a collaborative campus approach to ensure all students can achieve their goals, regardless of their citizenship status. Throughout the week, California Community Colleges will offer support, resources and learning opportunities to our undocumented student population and districtwide community.
