Become an UndocuAlly

 

G2B offers ally trainings for faculty, staff, students, and those who are interested in learning more about our undocumented student population on campus. Through these trainings G2B staff aims to inform and educate the campus community on how to best support undocumented students. We do so for the purpose of fostering an inclusive campus for all students regardless of their immigration status. Please contact Tom Choe via tchoe@fullcoll.edu if you have any questions or would like to learn more.
