A conference on the California Dream Act and immigration reform will take place at UC Riverside Saturday.

PODER, Proving Opportunities and Education in Riverside, is hosting the conference. Gov. Jerry Brown this year signed a bill that makes illegal-immigrant student eligible for financial aid.

The conference will include workshops on college-entrance course requirements and on how undocumented students can qualify for in-state tuition and financial aid.

Registration for the conference begins at 8 a.m. in Parking Lot 24. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

To RSVP, email poderatucr@yahoo.com or call 951-827-3821.
