California is home to 2.2 million veterans and Southern California has the largest population of vets in the county.

Today hundreds of thousands of vets are looking ahead to the next chapter in their lives and enrolling in higher education.

Listen to KPCC’s Off-Ramp to hear more from these vets and the mentors supporting them.

Today Obama announced that some undocumented young immigrants won’t be facing deportation anytime soon.  If they meet certain criteria the undocumented immigrants can be granted deferred action and eventually get work permits. The move will affect an estimated 800,000 people in the states and many of them reside here in Los Angeles. KPCC’s Mae Ryan photographed students in LA who will be directly affected by this policy.  Read more about the new policy here.

Mae Ryan’s photos were featured on The Picture Show today. Check them out and be sure to follow KPCC for other Southern California news and photos.
