Migrating Shell Student Organization
What is Migrating Shells?
A newly formed student organization started during the Spring semester of 2021. The advisor for this student organization is the Immigrant and Undocumented Student Life Coordinator. We work collaboratively throughout the year to partner on events, programs, advocacy, and fundraising efforts. Every year Migrating Shells helps us plan the Dream Gala.
As an undocumented student, Migrating Shells has been a crucial source of community, validation, and friendship.
Migrating Shells is a newer student org that brings in immigrant, child of immigrants, and allies to bring forth immigration awareness at UMD. Our goal is to create community, advocacy for immigrant students, and work on fundraising efforts for undocumented students.
Membership Eligibility: Any student (undergrad or grad) can be a member. They must, however, be able to respect the humanity of students/community members who are immigrants and or have an immigrant experience.
