Undocumented Students
OAMI serves as one of the spaces on campus for undocumented and DACAmented students of all ethnicities and nationalities to find a safe environment and supportive community at the University of Michigan.
OAMI offers a range of support services — from personal, one-on-one coaching to community and professional development, which will help balance being a full-time student and handling other day-to-day challenges you may face. If you want to connect with students like you, OAMI can provide resources to connect you to an encouraging peer network.
If you are an undocumented or DACAmented student, we encourage you to contact Hector Galvan, Assistant Director and Success Coach at OAMI.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Student Community of Progressive Empowerment (SCOPE), a student organization that advocates for and centers the experiences of undocumented students at Michigan.
