Why It's Wild

SES is a very important resource on campus to FGLI and DACA/Undocumented students for funding, resources and community. Even though there are similar offices on other campuses, SES specifically was created at Northwestern by previous vice president of Student Affairs, Patricia Telles-Irvin, a Northwestern staff member.
