undocUVA

Club Description

undocUVA strives to create a more inclusive environment and an overall safe space for undocumented students through education and advocacy. In order to obtain this desired environment we plan to help students expand their intellectual, creative and social horizons while empowering a sense of belonging. We will strive to foster an understanding in the UVa and Greater Charlottesville community about the unique issues and challenges undocumented students undergo. We believe it is important to acknowledge that we are not affiliated with any cultural or Latinx organization. All are welcome, regardless of background or status.  We will also provide faculty and staff with tools and information to help in their interactions with undocumented students. We are committed to have strong ties with administrations, most importantly Student Financial Services, in order to provide students with the necessary resources to make their experience a successful one.
