For today's research spotlight, we're highlighting Guadalupe Saldivar, an Adult & Higher Education PhD candidate!

While working in higher education career services, Guadalupe began noticing that students from low-income or first-generation backgrounds often selected majors for job security that may not align with their academic interests. She was reminded of her own journey and began thinking about how these experiences could be evaluated. As a researcher, she now studies perceptions of social mobility amongst low-income college students.

Going forward, Guadalupe hopes to continue supporting students in achieving their aspirations and positively influencing educational policy through her research! Read more: beav.es/fhn

Terrence Scott is graduating with a master’s degree in Adult and Higher Education! After graduation, he plans to continue in his Instructional Designer role with Portland State University and explore teaching opportunities.

Having completed two internships with OSU Ecampus that focused on accessible course building and leadership strategies for online learning, Terrence says, “Each experience gave me new tools that deepened my work at PSU and strengthened my confidence in implementing strategies that support learners.”

Terrence gained a stronger understanding of theory and application for instructional design. He says, “I can bring those pieces together to design programs and curriculum with lasting impact. This feels especially important in a world where technology, including AI, continues to evolve and shape how we learn, work, and interact with the world around us.”

Terrence is interested in pursuing a terminal degree in the future, but for now, he hopes to rest, relax, and spend plenty of time hanging out with his cats Agnes and Kevin!

We are so excited to share that Dr. Karen Thompson, Professor in the College of Education, has been awarded funding from the William T. Grant Foundation for “Implementation and Impact of Access to Linguistic Inclusion in Oregon.”

The project seeks to understand how a 2021 Oregon state policy, Access to Linguistic Inclusion (ALI), impacts academic preparation, high school graduation, and high school graduation for multilingual students, especially students classified as English Learners. This critical research has the potential to inform the future of ALI and other policies with the goal of reducing barriers for multilingual students! ⭐

Please join us in congratulating Karen and her collaborators at the University of Oregon and the Oregon Department of Education! 👏

Welcome to our graduating student spotlights! Today, we're highlighting Ava McKee, who is graduating with a degree in Elementary Education✨

After graduation, Ava plans to move to Washington to teach first grade on San Juan Island. She says, "My favorite memory at OSU was when I brought my cat into my third grade classroom, and the kids got to pet him, take pictures with him, and he got to show off his tricks!"

Ava hopes to make a difference with her degree by "being an important community member and role model, and helping develop my students into phenomenal community members and people, all while having fun along the way!"
