Boston - U.S. Sen. Scott Brown's office announced Friday that the senator will meet with a college student from a coalition representing undocumented students.

Gail Gitcho, a spokeswoman for Brown, said that the Massachusetts Republican will meet with one student, a U.S. citizen, from the group in the next four to six weeks. She said the meeting will be like any other meeting with a constituent.

"On a date in the near future, we will find a time to have one of the members of the organization, who is a United States citizen, come into the office and share their issues with the Senator," said Gitcho. "This meeting request has been handled no differently than any other Massachusetts constituent or constituent group who seeks a meeting with the Senator."

The announcement comes after the group launched an online petition that garnered 300 signatures asking Brown to meet with undocumented students and hear their stories.

Kyle de Beausset, a 24-year-old student activists and blogger, said he and other students presented the petition Friday to Brown's Boston office then staged a sit-in.

While de Beausset said he was pleased Brown has agreed to meet with a student, he said the group still wants the senator to meet face-to-face with undocumented students who live in Massachusetts.

"We want him to understand the personal dimensions that these students face," said de Beausset. "These are real people, not just numbers."

During his campaign, Brown said he was against granting driver's licenses and in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants. Brown also has said he believes reforms should be made to streamline the process for those who are seeking citizenship through the legal and proper channels.

De Beausset said the group is not now seeking for Brown to commit to any immigration reform proposals.

This week, a group of students persuaded Tufts University President Lawrence Bacow to send a letter to Brown, a 1981 Tufts graduate, and Sen. John Kerry, asking them to support a federal proposal that would allow undocumented college students a pathway to permanent residency and U.S. citizenship.
