Dear Community,

Our semester is well under way - and it’s brought some great and not so great surprises!

The USSC has been impacted by flood damages along with the SMSU South building. Therefore, the USSC will be closed until further notice.

However, we’ll keep providing both virtual and in-person programs (they just won’t be at our center). We remain committed to providing important information and resources and to bringing our community together.

With this in mind, we hope this newsletter is helpful and that you’re able to take advantage of all the opportunities.

Building up your community is something you can control and we encourage to do so :)

Sincerely,
USSC Team

Last Week to Join this Unique Group Program

Undocu Thrive is a truly a one-of-a kind program!

This group will meet weekly for 8 weeks. The group will only accept those that can commit to attending all meetings on Wednesdays from 10:30am to 11:50am via Zoom. The goal is to have a consistent community where we can be real with each other.

To join this group, please call CAPS at 909-537-5040 and let them know you’d like to sign up for Undocu Thrive. They will walk you through next steps.

This is the last week you can call and sign up. Please call today. We have limited spots.

What are the mental health needs in our community?

It's popular to talk about mental health, but rarely does anyone talk about the unique challenges undocu college students face.

Join us tomorrow for this discussion! You’ll also get to meet the facilitators of the Undocu Thrive program!

You don’t need DACA to work in Health Care

Are you going into nursing, physical therapy, medical school, or other health care professions?

Our friends at Pre-Health Dreamers (PHD) are having a workshop where they will discuss the independent contracting options in hospitals, especially for those who don’t have work authorization.

This is important information and much of it will apply to anyone interested in finding work without DACA.
