The beauty and the heart ache the strong stem and piercing thorn of struggle. From the roots to the ashes. We are the roses. We rise out of the shadows and into the streets. We stand for justice and peace. We are undocumented, unafraid, and unapologetic. They will never bury us!

– Rigo Padilla-Peréz

We take seriously our public mission and land-grant commitment to not only expand educational pathways for undocumented students, but also to ensure that they have high-quality educational experiences.
  2. The Office of Diversity promotes greater awareness and understanding of undocumented students’ experiences (while maintaining the confidentiality of individuals) and develops campus responses and processes to address their needs related to academic success.
