P.O.D.E.R AT UCR PRESENTS OUR 2ND ANNUAL CELEBRACIóN CON EDUCACIóN
AN AB 540, DREAM ACT, & IMMIGRATION REFORM CONFERENCE
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2010
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE CAMPUS
9AM-2PM(REGISTRATION STARTS AT 8AM)• PARKING LOT 24
FREE of charge and FREE food
AB 540 & DREAM ACT
In 2001, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill 540 which allows “undocumented” students the opportunity to access higher education and pay instate tuition. There are and estimated 408,000 undocumented students in California; of these thousands only 1 out of 20 high school seniors attends college. The reason for these low numbers of students in higher education is the lack of information regarding AB 540 and the high tuition costs. The Dream Act would provide certain undocumented students who graduate from US high schools, are of good moral character, arrived in the US as children, and have been in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment, the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency. The conference is designed to educate and inform the community, parents & students, of such laws.
