Date: October 31, 2024
Time: 5-6:30 pm
Location: Goldwin Smith Hall, Room G64, Kauffman Auditorium
Contact: Victor Cuicahua (vc356@cornell.edu)

This in-person and live-streamed event will provide members of the Cornell community insight into the intersections between the undocumented student experience, access to justice, and AI through a moderated discussion with Adrian Palma '13.

Palma is a passionate advocate for immigrant rights and a proud DACA recipient. He is Microsoft’s Global Pro Bono Manager & Digital Strategist, where he leverages AI and Microsoft technology to create digital tools that increase access to justice and drive greater impact for pro bono clients. Driven by his lived experience as a DACA recipient, he has designed and implemented virtual clinic solutions that enabled hundreds of undocumented youth to apply for DACA with the help of pro bono volunteers and smartphones in 2020. Palma continues to use his experience working at the intersection of technology and pro bono to build digital tools that address America’s justice crisis.

Palma will reflect on his experiences as an undocumented student at Cornell during a pivotal moment in the history of the immigrant rights movement, outline his personal and professional trajectory and its relevance to understanding and supporting undocumented students, as well as provide insight into the ways in which AI can be used as a tool for social change.
