Support Your Immigrant Students – On-Demand Training

Confidently Navigate Policies & Practices

Under the new administration, policies and programs that provide some protections to immigrant students who are undocumented, such as DACA and Temporary Protected Status (TPS), are in danger of being stripped away. This is leading to uncertainty and fears about the rights, resources, and opportunities of prospective and current undocumented students.

Our expert presenters will provide best practices and recommendations to support immigrant students as the new administration rolls out policies that threaten students’ ability to remain in the U.S. and study with the long-term goal of attaining employment in a specific field. Our presenters will also offer an overview of college-level policies from admissions to advising to professional certification that all higher educational institutions should consider, ensuring the education of immigrant students is supported from start to finish.

Given the early February timing, this webinar will offer the most up-to-date information about the incoming administration plans as it relates to immigrant college students and the pivotal role you can play. The presenters will discuss potential threats and also the changes in discourse, programs and policies that are already implemented or in progress.
