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. In 2020 hundreds of undocumented youth were able to get help in applying for DACA using a virtual clinic solution designed and implemented by Palma, who was inspired by his own life experiences.

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, and provide insight into the ways in which AI can be used as a tool for social change.
