UNDOCUMENTED/DACA AT NORTHWESTERN

Welcome to Our Community: Support for Undocumented Students 

 

Hi ‘Cats! 

Welcome to the “Support for Undocumented Students” page! We are Advancement for the Undocumented Community (AUC), a student group at Northwestern University dedicated to supporting undergraduate and graduate students who are undocumented or have undocumented family members. We’re here to let you know: you are not alone, and there is a community here for you. 

At AUC, we strive to create a barrier-free, inclusive space where everyone can feel safe, heard, and supported. We understand that navigating a primary white institution can sometimes feel isolating, but Northwestern is your space too, and we can claim it together. Through events, workshops, and collaborations with local and national organizations, we aim to raise awareness, provide resources, and advocate for the needs of our community. More importantly, we want to uplift each other and create a space where every person can feel they belong. 

You’re not just supported by us. There are dedicated faculty, staff, and fellow students at Northwestern who are here to stand by you, uplift you, and offer the support you need. This webpage is a collection of resources that many people have carefully compiled and worked hard to provide. Here, you’ll find information on everything from legal aid to academic support and mental health resources, all in one place, to help you navigate your journey. 

Our experiences may be different, but when we come together, we create a community that holds and supports one another. You are welcome here, and this space is yours. Together, we belong. 

 We are here to walk this journey with you. Reach out, join us, and let’s build a stronger, supportive community together. 

With warmth and solidarity, 

 

The Advancement for the Undocumented Community Executive Board
