Let’s Talk: from the UO Counseling Center
Let’s Talk is a program that is offered by many university counseling centers across the US with the purpose of decreasing mental health stigma along with reducing barriers and increasing access to support services, particularly for underrepresented and marginalized students. Let’s Talk offers brief informal consultations for students on a drop-in basis in satellite locations in order to help students address specific needs and to support those that might be hesitant to come to the UCC.
There is no need to schedule an appointment, and students are seen on a first come, first-served basis. The UO Counseling Center will have Let’s Talk Monday through Friday from 2pm-4pm. Updated information about Let’s Talk and available counselors are posted on our website (locations/times might change in future terms). https://counseling.uoregon.edu/letstalk
Former CLLAS student employee now working for FEMA
Kelsey Madsen, (Master of Public Administration, UO, 2018) former employee/intern at CLLAS, has recently accepted a position with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) as a Program Delivery Manager within the Public Assistance Program.
Part of her new position will be helping our local community through the grant process in response to February’s snow storm.
After this local grant process, Kelsey will be moved to the next federally-declared disaster to help other communities through their post-disaster phase. She is very happy to have worked with CLLAS through her graduate degree in the PPPM Department because she feels as though the experience directly prepared her for this new position interacting with the local community while administering grants.
Dreamers Working Group: 2019 Impact Report
2019 Impact Report: Dreamers Working Group
From the report:
“Thanks to the generosity of donors, the support of the UO Advancement team, and the determination of DWG staff, UO Dreamer Scholarships are now available to undocumented & Dreamer Ducks! The Opportunity Through Excellence, or Fund the Dream Scholarship as it is known through our outreach efforts, aims to bridge the gap for those undocumented, DACA, and Dreamer students who are not able to complete a FAFSA and obtain federally-funded financial aid. These students are not able to access scholarships such as Pathway Oregon and grants such as the Pell Grant. Thanks to the generosity of our donors we have been able to offer, for the first time, scholarships to students beginning in spring 2019.”
Feather J. Crawford, CLLAS event planner & project manager, is also a staff member of the Dreamers Working Group.
The UO Dreamers Working Group is supported by the Office of the President, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Division of Equity and Inclusion, Undergraduate Education and Student Success, and the Division of Global Engagement. EO/AA/ADA Institution; Committed to Cultural Diversity.
