Check out the third installment of our video series – “I am an Immigrant Entrepreneur” featuring Johann here, from University of Illinois at Chicago!

We invite you to follow us on social media as we share a new 60-second story each Monday. We hope that these videos, which were produced by another TheDream.US graduate, encourage other Dreamers to think outside the box and learn the transformative impact of entrepreneurship on their lives and communities.

With now over 300 registrants, we are looking forward to seeing many of you soon for SUCCESS 2024! 

Action Needed: If you are attending, we need you to take 10 minutes to complete the SUCCESS 2024 State of Play Survey by Monday, March 11.

Why is this survey important?

Your participation drives the Opening Session for the Convening. It helps us understand the national landscape of post-graduation pathways with robust, data-driven conversations. In our inaugural 2022 Convening, over 120 individuals (67%) participated in the Survey. With a much larger audience this year, we want to increase participation.
