Supporting Undocumented Students on College Campuses
Wednesday, April 9th from 9am-11am
Asian American Cultural Center Lounge
1210 W. Nevada St., Urbana
University staff and faculty are invited to a thought-provoking training for higher education practitioners about the experiences of undocumented students in higher education. Join Dr. Russell as she shares data on the diversity of undocumented students and approaches for creating an accessible campus. Participants will learn about state-specific policies as it relates to in-state tuition, state financial aid, and on campus support for undocumented students.
Co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center, the Career Center, Career Services Council, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Student Affairs Inclusive Excellence.
Dr. Felecia Russell is the Director of the Higher Ed Immigration Portal at the Presidents’ Alliance for Higher Education and Immigration. Her research agenda explores the experiences of non-Latinx undocumented students, more specifically Black undocumented students, and the intersections of race and immigration status. Her book, Amplifying Black Undocumented Student Voices in Higher Education which centers her own educational journey and a qualitative study exploring the experiences of 15 Black undocumented students was released by Routledge in 2024.
