EOP Dream Initiative

Vision

The members of the EOP Dream Committee and EOP Satellite Liaisons within the Student Services Centers are a student centered collective; we work together to provide holistic services and support to the campus community on a broad range of needs specific to undocumented students at California State University, Northridge. We foster understanding of the unique issues and challenges undocumented students face. We support professional excellence and promote academic achievement. We carry out this work and vision in concurrence with the university’s mission and master plan.

Mission

Our mission involves raising awareness around the issues and needs of undocumented students. Our delivery of secondary base line support services, specifically tailored to the needs of prospective and currently enrolled undocumented students, promotes empathy and exercises advocacy on behalf of this marginalized student population. In addition, providing professional development for staff encourages an increased understanding and the skill set needed to deliver a breadth of services to undocumented students. Ultimately, the goal is to sustain the development and advancement of a positive work environment in which students, faculty, staff, and administrators are inspired and empowered to support undocumented students in their quest for academic excellence.

Core Values

Responsibility: As the Liaisons for undocumented student success at the university, we promote a culture of understanding that is supportive and humane to the plight of this immigrant student population.

Community: As individuals and as a collective, our actions and responses determine our reputation with campus and off-campus communities. We value diversity and varied perspectives; we thrive in developing and sustaining partnerships to broaden our work and influence.

Integrity: We hold to the highest standards of our profession as Student Services Professionals. The discharge of our daily responsibilities demonstrates respect for our students and each other. Our programming and activities affirm the worth of our collective and each member of the campus community.
