As part of its Undocuweek 2024 programming, the Center will host a moderated conversation on the experiences of students from mixed status families and communities who attended the 2024 Ignatian Solidarity Network's Undocu-Network Summit. Prof.Olayo-Méndez will provide an overview of immigration status in the United States and the various barriers to accessing temporary status or citizenship. Paredes will share her experiences from the Summit which gathered students from Jesuit universities across the country who are undocumented or from mixed status families and communities, and she will also discuss her own experiences in a mixed status community and how lack of immigration status affects individuals in their day to day lives. 

Co-sponsored by the BC Central American Students Organization.
