UndocU Conference
UndocU Conference
The UndocU Conference upholds CSULB vision and commitment to dismantle barriers for our diverse student population. In the 5th Annual UndocU Conference, we hope to highlight the diverse and intersectional Identities of Undocumented people, which are typically neglected and overlooked. The program will facilitate community building and networking through interactive activities and discussions. It will feature papers, presentations, and roundtables focused on research within, in support of, and conducted by members of the community. Some topics may include undocumented student experiences, building campus support systems, youth resilience & activism, inclusive research opportunities, and access to paid professional development. We hope to provide a space for undocumented students and allies of varying disciplines to share their academic research.
This event is open to the CSULB community and the public. Registration opening soon!
