DEADLINE APRIL 9 FOR STUDENTS TO REGISTER FOR APRIL 22 ADVOCACY EVENT

This Friday, April 9, is the deadline for Mt. Hood students to register and for a Zoom meeting with their state legislators during an April 22 Advocacy Event.

It is important for legislators to understand the challenges and real-life experiences of college students wth regard to proposed solutions such as Oregon HB 2835 (requiring and funding a benefits “navigator” for each state university and college to assist students). Hearing from students helps to focus on key issues and how important certain programs and benefits are to their success.

The April 22 Advocacy Event is coordinated with Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon and the Oregon Student Association, as well as being involved with Pathways to Opportunity and the Hunger-Free Campus Campaign. Sign up here to register for, and then receive the Lobby Day Zoom session invite.

For any questions or concerns, contact Kate Kinder (Dean, Career Pathways and Skills Training at Portland Community College) at [email protected] or Emma Kallaway (Government Relations Director, PCC) at [email protected].
