Alejandra Rincon, Author of "Si Se Puede: Undocumented Students in Higher Ed" Speaks at Brown

Alejandra Rincon, PhD is author of Undocumented Immigrants and Higher Education: Si Se Puede! This book chronicles the historic struggle of undocumented students and their supporters to gain equal access to higher education through in-state tuition laws. These efforts, which have been successful in ten states thus far, are the current expression of past civil rights struggles and may have broader implications for the population as a whole. Dr. Rincon will be joined by Rep. Grace Diaz and Roberto Gonzalez, Esq., Michelle DePlante, and Tam Tran who will share information on local efforts related to this important issue.
