DREAMzone ASU

ational success of undocumented students. Modeled after successful Safe Zone programs across the country, DREAMzone is a 4-hour ally certification training designed to establish a visible support network for undocumented students at Arizona State University. DREAMzone emerged out of the DREAMer Research Initiative, a collaborative effort amongst faculty, staff, and administrators garnering support for a comprehensive response to the unmet social, cultural and academic needs of undocumented students at institutions of higher education. The name DREAMzone is derived from the alias "DREAMers," which undocumented students have adopted, as potential beneficiaries of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. DREAMzone prepares participants to effectively respond to the presence and needs of undocumented students by:

1. Challenging participants to identify and deconstruct their preconceptions of undocumented student populations
2. Increasing participants' content knowledge regarding federal, state, and institutional policies directly affecting the undocumented college student experience
3. Providing participants the opportunity to engage in dialogue with a panel of undocumented students
4. Helping participants develop competencies and skills for working with undocumented students, and serving as allies
