The mission of the Immigrant Student Success Office (ISSO) is to recruit, enroll, and retain students, with an emphasis on new immigrants, such as students granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) who identify with the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAMERS), and first-generation students by providing the necessary academic and non-academic support to ensure graduation from Brooklyn College in a timely manner.

This comprehensive resource hub, a project of the Legal Pathways that Work initiative, offers a suite of resources, trainings, and other tools to support access to employment-based visas and careers in the U.S. post graduation for non-citizen students and graduates, including Dreamers with and without DACA.
