- As Director for Portland Community College, I will be able to represent a voice that is often missing at the table where decisions are made.
- As we transition back to in-person learning, we have a unique opportunity to reshape our education to make it more equitable, sustainable, and convenient for all students.
- The difficulties and hurdles facing students today are greater than they ever have been and it’s time we fix this. Together, we can fight to help all students by providing desperately needed resources to immigrants and first-generation college students and lowering the cost of tuition and books to rid PCC of the obstacles facing students and their families.
Still, many immigrants and first-generation students are marginalized by the college application and enrollment process. Without a close relationship with someone who has completed the process, navigating this complex financial and sometimes bureaucratic decision, many lose hope.
