UndocuScholars Academy

 

Description

The UndocuScholars Academy was designed to empower undocumented students through an 8-week, small-group, interactive seminar series. The program is restricted to 15 students per session in order to optimize interaction by all participants. The seminars are facilitated by our career specialist, Dr. Maria Ramirez Loyola and guest speakers. Students will focus on career development, resume, interviewing, and job/graduate school preparation and skills all students will need in order to thrive in their careers. Every seminar is in-person every Friday from 12pm-1:30pm for 8 weeks + Orientation. All accepted students will be notified of the exact room location before the start of the academy. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate and a $250 Kohls gift card.
