Greetings Hornets,
We hope this email finds you all well. Thank you so much to those that were able to join us for our Undocumented Student Action Week (USAW) across NOCCCD from October 19 - 23, 2020.
We would like to acknowledge that these are stressful and challenging times due to the ongoing pandemic, civic unrest, and pending elections. On Friday, October 30th, the current presidential administration issued a proclamation declaring November 1st as the “National Day of Remembrance for Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens''. The Grads to Be (G2B) Program denounces this xenophobic attempt to dehumanize, stigmatize and criminalize our undocumented communities. We acknowledge the many contributions undocumented individuals make to our society, as they are health care workers, entrepreneurs, professors, administrators, our colleagues and our students.
G2B is committed to supporting our undocumented students and students with mixed status families. We will continue to hold healing spaces and provide resources and referrals. In addition, we will demystify harmful stereotypes through education and collaboration with campus partners to ensure Fullerton College is a welcoming environment where all students, regardless of immigration status can thrive and achieve their academic potential.
As a result, we invite you to please join us throughout the month of November as we will be hosting various events geared towards educating our campus community and providing community spaces for our undocumented students. Events include “Election Debrief”, “What’s the Tea with G2B”, and our 3-Part Entrepreneurship Workshop Series. Additionally, CSU and UC applications are open and we have provided resources to help guide you through the transfer process.
Lastly, we have program staff available to connect on an individual basis and an appointment can be made by calling (714) 992-7105. We can also be reached via Instagram, Canvas or by email grads2be@fullcoll.edu.
Respectfully,
Grads To Be Program
