Program Information The mission of the Immigrant Justice Center (IJC) is to advocate for equity and create accessible services, programs, and opportunities to support the holistic and collective growth of individuals impacted by our immigration system.
Our Values
Equity: As a center working with a historically excluded and marginalized student population, equity is the fuel that drives our community to advocate for opportunities to ensure students are creatively integrated in all aspects of student life.
Opportunity: then, becomes the priority when exploring ways to support students who cannot meet class requirements, participate in an internship, or simply receive federal financial support. Students' immigration status can become a burden when accessing health resources, professional development opportunities, or when traveling.
Creativity: Because of the legal implications students face, higher education institutions have a responsibility to be innovative and creative when designing programs that can support the academic, financial, professional, and personal growth of each student we work with.
Community: Working with undocumented and mixed-status students requires a strong community of allies, on- and off-campus, who can work together to support students and help the TDSC meet their various needs.
