USS Student Newsletter

We are back!

It's been a while since we last sent a newsletter. Sorry about that! We ran into an issue putting together content and delivering the newsletter to you promptly, so we decided to pause until we could reimagine a better way of doing it.

Here's what we came up with. A straightforward, cleaner newsletter with curated content focused on undocumented students. We hope you like it. Our goal is only to make it better :)

Have constructive feedback? Send us your thoughts!

Don't be shy, break the social anxiety and visit us! The USS Lounge has snacks, schools supplies, and good vibes. Right now, the space is excellent for quiet studying.

Student Services Building
5th Floor, Room 518.

Winter Hours (subject to change):
Mon-Thu, 9:00 am-5:00 pm.

Listen to our Podcast!

In this episode, we talked with two professionals and former college students from the undocumented community about what it means to be an ally.

The application deadline is March 2. Don't wait! Last year we saw many students apply late, which led to delays in getting their financial aid. Get that money!

Application closes Sunday, February 27, 2022

The Personal and Career Experience (PACE) Fellowship programs allow undocumented undergraduate students to pursue experiential learning opportunities, receive mentorship & financial support, and foster academic and professional development.
