The Pre-Health Dreamers published a report, Developing an UndocuSupport System: Enrichment Assessment of Campus Support for Undocumented Students. The enrichment assessment was created through a collaborative effort of individuals with a background in higher education, research, recruitment, and admissions, and experience establishing programming, advocacy, and resources for undocumented students. Pre-Health Dreamers advocates for institutional change by collaborating with educators and administrators to develop more equitable opportunities for undocumented students.
The different sections list vital support that undocumented students pursuing health professional degrees need from campus staff, administrators, task forces, and others. Under each column, institutions can determine whether a specific area is already provided at the campus; if the support needs to be strengthened; or if the campus is currently not able to provide such support as well as other levels of assessment. This report is created to serve as a resource for taskforces, individuals, and departments to evaluate the holistic support and resources their institution provides. It emphasizes and encourages the inclusiveness of resources from the general financial aid and academic advising departments to ensure the success, retention, and matriculation of undocumented students.
