This presentation will cover what terminology one needs to know for different immigration statuses, and what resources can be accessed, including in-state tuition, state aid, and scholarships. The workshop will cover who at CUNY can help students navigate college, such as staff in specialized centers and dream teams. The presenter will also cover how undocumented students can access paid opportunities in the form of non-employment based opportunities. Participants will work through scenarios to establish practices they can implement to help current and future students. In addition, participants will learn how to identify accurate information and reputable resources for immigrant students in New York City.
Presented by Dr. Cynthia Carvajal, University Director of Undocumented and Immigrant Student Programs/CUNY.
