District supports undocumented students with Week of Action

October 9, 2019 | San Diego Community College District

San Diego City, Mesa, and Miramar colleges, and San Diego Continuing Education are joining community colleges across California for Undocumented Student Action Week beginning October 14 with workshops, panel discussions, resource fairs, and more in support of its undocumented students and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

California’s community colleges serve between 50,000 and 70,000 of the more than 200,000 DACA students in the state.

"The San Diego Community College District is committed to protecting the rights of every student who comes to our campuses for the education and workforce skills training needed to contribute to our society and strengthen our economy,” said SDCCD Chancellor Constance M. Carroll. “This year’s action week serves as an opportunity to highlight the challenges our DACA students and undocumented students face, and we will continue to do everything in our power to make sure our students are afforded a safe learning environment."
