California DREAM ACT Educational Panel
Thursday, November 17, 2011
5:00pm-6:30pm
THH 102
Hosted by Redefining Engagement in Active Leadership (REAL) Project and the IDEAS Movement at USC.
The CA DREAM Act has been passed and signed by Governor Brown, giving AB 540 students, those who have lived in the country for most of their young lives, access to public funding to aid them in their pursuit of higher education.
Although this is a great victory for undocumented students, the conversation about the viability of the law as a catalyst for economic recovery in California and the country continues. This panel will kick off what will surely be an on-going series of discussions regarding the DREAM Act as we lead up to the 2012 election season. The event is for all who want to learn more about the CA DREAM Act, the legislation and the effects of its implementation on all Californians. We look to foster a respectful and all inclusive conversation, so please bring your questions, concerns and comments.
