The Arrival Awards recognize the successes and benefits that immigrants bring to our community and to the nation in general. Proceeds of the Arrival Awards Dinner benefit the Immigration Clinic at the University of Houston Law Center.
The Immigration Clinic is the only resource of its kind in our region. The Clinic assists hundreds of immigrants and refugees who could not otherwise find legal representation, and serves as a vital “teaching laboratory” for aspiring lawyers. On a pro bono basis, the Immigration Clinic represents immigrant victims of domestic violence and refugees seeking asylum before the Immigration Court. It also assists U.S. citizens and permanent residents petitioning to obtain lawful U.S. immigration status for family members.
