Laura Dicochea is the coordinator for DREAMzone. She collaborates with colleges and departments across ASU’s four campuses, state and private universities, community colleges, Arizona high schools, and local and national organizations to increase institutional awareness and establish a visible support network for DACA, undocumented, and mixed-immigration status students in Arizona.
Laura Dicochea's research focuses on transnational students in higher education in Mexico and the United States. She explores their transnational movement and practices across borders, as well as the educational challenges and opportunities of navigating both educational systems.
Laura Dicochea is co-chair for the Inaugural Equity in Education: Arizona Summit for Undocumented Student Support, a groundbreaking event that brings together Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, the University of Arizona, Maricopa Community Colleges, High Schools, and Community Organizations.
