Abstract
The Monarch Program at The Univeristy of Texas at Austin supports students who are undocumented, hold temporary status, and/or are from mixed-status families. Due to the uncertainty that undocumented students face with their career pathways, presenters will share their experiences, offer tailored career support to undocumented students, provide an overview of the common barriers undocumented students face with accessing career support and opportunities, and discuss how institutions can provide more inclusive career support services.
