<div dir="ltr">Dear SOE Students,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We are living in challenging times. The SOE is committed to supporting all of our students. I am sending this specific communication to affirm our support for undocumented students. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">1. This morning, the SOE faculty engaged in a professional development session led by Drs. Gutierrez, Zavala, and Viramontes designed to better equip them to support undocumented students and those from mixed-status families. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2. This Spring, SOE faculty, students and staff are invited to SOE-specific Undocually workshops. There will be two opportunities to gain this vital training. One training will be an all-day in person opportunity while the second training will
include two half day remote sessions. Specific dates and times will be announced in the coming weeks.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">3. SOE will host a Teach-In on April 2, 2025 from 10am-5pm. The goal of the teach-in is to give space for the SOE community to learn, and to share vital information and resources. Importantly, there will be two opportunities on this day for students
to engage in professionally-facilitated reflective community circles. Please take some time on this date to learn and grow as we all work to support undocumented students. More detailed information on the teach-in will be shared in the coming weeks. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Finally, please let us know if there are other ways that we can be of support. You may reach out directly to any of your SOE professors or use
<a href="mailto:SOEDEAN@ucr.edu" target="_blank">SOEDEAN@ucr.edu</a>.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Wishing each of you the very best on your final exams.</div>
