Ally Training for Faculty and Staff

Becoming an Ally to Undocumented Students

The Undocumented Student Ally Training is designed to provide faculty and staff with information and resources to better assist undocumented students at Northeastern. This program was modeled after nationally recognized ally training programs for the LGBTQI+ community.

These training sessions are offered each semester focusing on the roles, expectations, and responsibilities of becoming an effective advocate for undocumented students. We discuss state and federal legislation that affects undocumented students; Northeastern’s admissions, financial aid guidelines, processes, and student support services; and community resources.

Please note that while attending this training is a very important step toward building solidarity, we must actively learn more about issues facing undocumented students, especially in our respective departments.
