Washington, DC – A new video from TheDream.US features highlights from our recent virtual commencement celebrating the graduation of more than 1,000 TheDream.US Scholars from 77 Partner Colleges in 16 states, Washington, DC, and online.
The video features remarks from TheDream.US graduate and alumni speakers as well as those of Dr. Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, who was the guest speaker during the virtual commencement. Dr. Biden told the graduates, “We know you have so much to contribute to this nation in the days ahead … We stand with you. Never stop dreaming.”
Ahead of the nine-year anniversary of the announcement of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program (DACA) on June 15, the video concludes with a reminder that “America is stronger when DREAMers have opportunities to succeed.”
