What to Expect Friday

Day Two is a collaborative planning workshop facilitated by Abigail Leeder, focused on developing ideas, identifying priorities, and outlining initial action plans for UO’s continued HSI work.

Planning groups will be assigned Friday morning and will focus on:

• Recruitment and enrollment
• Retention and graduation
• Research
• Culture building

Participants will identify practical steps that could begin soon, ideas that need additional time or resources, and longer-term possibilities.

Complimentary coffee and tea will be served in the morning. Friday’s lunch will be a sandwich buffet provided by University Catering, with gluten-free and vegan options available.

We strongly encourage all Friday participants to attend some Thursday sessions to help prepare for the planning conversations. Thursday offers flexible, drop-in participation—review the schedule and join the sessions that work best for you.

Day One features a keynote address by Dr. Marcela Cuellar and panels on the HSI landscape, academic success, Latiné research, and community and belonging.

Lunch will be provided by Pupusa Time, with Salvadoran pupusas and aguas frescas. Gluten-free and vegan options will be available. Complimentary coffee and tea will also be served Thursday morning.

Join us afterward for a 5 p.m. reception with acoustic music by Ricardo Cardenas and refreshments and delicious bites by Shield Catering.
