The colleges – San Diego City College, San Diego Mesa College, San Diego Miramar College, and San Diego College of Continuing Education – will be holding a wide range of virtual and in-person workshops, panel discussions, and resource events in support of undocumented students and immigrants.
Students are encouraged to visit the Dreamers Centers on the district's campuses which provide programs and services to help empower undocumented students to achieve their academic and personal pursuits and become active members of the community. Centers serve as a resource to help students with access to higher education, advocacy and educational materials, campus-based and community services, current events, engagement activities, legal aid referrals, legislative updates, and more.
