Ep. 5: "When You're a DREAMer" with Sherelin & Yessenia Experts by Experience

For our fifth conversation, we are joined by Sherelin and Yessenia, two CPS alumni who are currently enrolled in Roosevelt University and Dominican University. We focus on how they navigate their campuses as DACA students and their ideas about how colleges can better act as allies for DACA recipients and undocumented students. Check out the episode to learn more about what DACA is and how the Supreme Court's recent decision regarding DACA has impacted students' college persistence journeys.

To donate to Dominican University's emergency fund for DACA students or Undocumented and Immigrant Allyance, visit the university's Student Relief Fund webpage. In the "Comments" section, please write where you would like your donation to go: "for SFIRE/DACA renewals" or "for the Undocumented and Immigrant Allyance." Funds which go to the former are directly given to students who apply for emergency grants, and funds which go to the latter are used for Undocumented and Immigrant Allyance's campus fundraising events.
