Webinar: September 25, 2025 at 7:00PM ET

Join us September 25, 2025 at 7:00 PM ET for a free live webinar with immigration attorney and Surviving The Law author Jose R. Campos, joined by "The Fellows" —formerly undocumented graduate students featured in the book. Hear their stories, gain insights, and find encouragement for navigating higher education while undocumented.

Campos' eloquence and earnestness make this book not just an account of survival but a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

This book is an exceptional and deeply relatable read. It captures the raw, authentic complexities of not only the authors life but other “fellows” who have gone through the ups and downs of a life as an undocumented immigrant.

Jose takes you on his journey in a way that makes you feel lost with him, feeling every challenge, every uncertainty, but never hopeless or defeated.
