This workshop will provide the campus community an opportunity to gain knowledge on the Unlocking Futures Fellowship (UFF) program, a professional development and workforce opportunity provided to undocumented students of Skyline College through the Undocumented Community Center (UCC).

This session will include 3 student speakers and the projects they developed in their first year of the UFF program (from Fall 2023 - Spring 2023) and will also share their plans in continuing the program through different departments on campus this new academic year. Community members are encouraged to attend so they can build awareness around this expanding program and refer students, specifically undocumented students, to the opportunity to join the 2024-2025 UFF Cohort.
