This student
publication,
Underground
Undergrads: UCLA
Undocumented
Immigrant
Students Speak
Out,
features the
growing student
movement around
access to higher
education for
undocumented
students.
Written by the
students
themselves,
eight moving
stories of
undocumented
immigrant
students from
UCLA provide the
focal point of
Underground
Undergrads. The
stories are
unique and
diverse, but
they all
demonstrate the
pain, financial
hardship, and
emotional
distress these
students face as
well as their
ultimate triumph
when they
graduate from
UCLA.
Underground
Undergrads
also serves as
an educational
and research
tool by
providing a
summary of the
history of
legislation
impacting
undocumented
students in
higher education
as well as a
resource guide
of organizations
that advocate
for student
rights.
