We know our students aren’t able to come into our office as they usually can. To help replace this service, we have created a team chat! You can think of this team chat like a virtual lobby; check in with student ambassadors, ask questions, and be assisted from anywhere in the world.

Do you need a drop-in appointment with an advisor? Head over to our team chat and an ambassador will help you get in contact with one of our fabulous advisors.

Is a full appointment better to meet your needs? Let an ambassador know in our team chat and they’ll help get you scheduled.

This team chat will be monitored during our standard office hours, Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm.

We’re here to help during this tumultuous time, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We are excited to announce that the next round of scholarships will go live Monday, March 16, 2020 starting at 6:30 PM. We have a limited amount of scholarships so they will be given on a first come first serve basis with priority given to Oregonians. We do not have any requirements other than your renewal date needing to be within 6 months from the date of expiration listed on your work permit and that you fill out the scholarship form completely. The scholarships will be in the amount of $495.00, the scholarship checks will be addressed to USCIS which means that if you have already sent in your renewal we cannot reimburse you.

If you or someone you know is able to sponsor a scholarship in full, please email [email protected] or message us on Facebook or Instagram.

If you are not able to donate $495, we encourage you to donate whatever amount you can. Every dollar helps us provide support to our undocumented community.
Please share. Thank you for your support!

For Indigenous People’s Day, I challenge everybody to spend 30 minutes on google (or search engine of your choice) learning about the indigenous people and their land that you’re currently occupying. The education system fails both native and non-native people alike, but with a tool like the internet at our disposal, as we mature into young adults, and eventually adults, that becomes an illegitimate excuse for the responsibility we each have to learn about and honor those indigenous nations who are physically dispossessed from their homelands and culture and lifeways to continue the settler colonial state and non-native occupation of our stolen homelands.

I invite people to leave what they’ve learned below so that we can learn together.

Students say one of the most intimidating things about college is talking one-on-one with professors. But developing that relationship can be key to college success.
