S.C.O.P.E. (Student Community Of Progressive Empowerment) would like to cordially invite Undocumented Graduates and Allies to a Zoom Ceremony to acknowledge the accomplishments of Undocumented Students in Ohio. Though formally registered at Ohio State, our organization strives to create a community for undocumented students throughout Ohio. This year, we are hosting a formal graduation ceremony for undocumented professional, graduate, and undergraduate students. Please register for the event here: <go.osu.edu/undocgraduation>. 

If you are an undocumented/DACA student graduating from a university in Ohio in Spring, Fall, or Summer of 2021. As part of the graduation, we will provide stoles to graduates on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please register for the event by April 12th and fill out the form below to receive a stole: https://go.osu.edu/undocgrad

Please consider supporting the statewide DACA/Undocu Virtual graduation either through your OSU organization (via funds transfer to the Department of Spanish & Portuguese) or through a direct donation. SCOPE’s Venmo is SCOPE-tosu. 

The purpose of S.C.O.P.E. is to support and serve undocumented students. To create a safe space that protects students who are undocumented or of DACAmented (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) status. To advocate for prospective and current students such that an education is accessible to all. To work together to create a community that will guide and empower members through a successful college experience while providing them with the necessary life skills to prepare them for a post college transition.

This event is co-sponsored by S.C.O.P.E., the Multicultural Center, Undergraduate Student Government, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Center for Folklore Studies, Center for Latin American Studies, Council on Student Affairs, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
