About 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools annually and that only about 10 percent go on to college. Find out what Oakton Community College and other organizations are doing to advocate and support undocumented students and their families from 1 to 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16, in Des Plaines, and from 1 to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, in Skokie.

Golf Road (Room 1603) and Tuesday at 7701 N. Lincoln Ave. (Room C111).
