Our Mission

Monarchs On The Hilltop is dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive community for undocumented students & students from mixed-status families.

Our vision: to promote the advancement of undocumented students in higher education by providing community services. 

Our Initiatives 

UNDOCUPEER Training
UNDOCUpeer Training was created by President Sussy Tellez Pantoja in an effort to inform and educate students about the challenges that the undocumented community face, understand the policies that provide help, learn the resources available, and how they can become allies.  

LATINA/X SUPPORT GROUP 
Latina/x Support Group is a place where students can discuss matters surrounding the latina/x community on campus, establish a support system among students and affiliates, and provide a safe space for participants to share their personal experiences and challenges. 

MONARCHS FOOD COOPERTIVE
The Monarchs' Food Co-Op was created by the founding members for the Hilltopper community in order to help tackle food insecurity on campus. The food, toiletries, and other items are purchased by Monarchs through fundraising and donated by individuals who want to give back to their community.
