Student Organization Support (R.I.S.E Club)

Respect Immigrant Students’ Education (RISE) was founded in 2007 by Puente and non-Puente students who felt the need to start a club that would serve as a support network for undocumented students. RISE’s mission is to provide academic guidance and moral support, educational information, and scholarship opportunities to students, regardless of their background. It also counts on the support of administrators, faculty and counselors as well as the Dream Resource Center.
