Student Stories

College students in America are the future engineers, doctors, and politicians. Immigrant students, here at Harvard and elsewhere, are also a part of that future. Sometimes they have go through an entire childhood of humiliation and discouragement before they reach the destination that they’ve always strived for — college — only to find out that they are still second-class.

Please read our students’ stories. Then, it’s your obligation to do something about this gross injustice.
