Bruce's Blog: Washington needs the Dream Act

On Monday, Jan. 13, the first day of a new legislative session in Olympia, the Washington State House of Representatives voted to pass the Washington State Dream Act, bringing undocumented students one step closer to being eligible for the State Need Grant and to building brighter futures for themselves, their communities and the state of Washington.

In his Opening Convocation speech this past fall, Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard addressed the Dream Act, calling it "a critical part of the solution."
