Through Dreamers Conferences, the Contra Costa Community Colleges support undocumented students by connecting community, industry, and education to connect students to resources and to supports offered by our local community colleges, universities, and community organizations.

SNAPSHOTS
In the Spring and Summer of 2012, ULV prioritize meeting the needs of undocumented students through partnership with the three community colleges in Contra Costa County.
In Fall 2012, ULV member Paul Ramirez meets with faculty and administration at the three campuses to ask for support and partnership to offer a Dreamers Conference. ULV’s Lupe Dannels offered to host the first conference on behalf of Diablo Valley College.
RESULTS
Today, the three colleges in the district –Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College, and Los Medanos College – have alternated offering a Dreamers Conference to serve undocumented students throughout our community. Paul Ramirez and Lupe Dannels now serve as ULV Board Members.
