The Oregon Department of Education will be hosting a Native Hawaiian/½ðɳÓéÀÖ Islander (NHPI) Student Success Plan Town Hall at ½ðɳÓéÀÖ on April 24, 2025 from 11:30-12:50 in the MPR. This is an important opportunity for community members to learn more about the ODE's NHPI Student Success Plan and provide valuable feedback that will influence the development of the NHPI SSP from an interim plan to a permanent plan. As an ODE NHPI SSP grant recipient, our participation in this event is especially important.

The event staff team needs about 10 more individuals to work at the afternoon ceremony (or both!). We want to provide the best experience for our students and guests, and in order to do that, we need your help. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked, but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

The Phi Lambda Omicron Sorority will be hosting a two day blood drive on April 28th and 29th in the MPR from 10am-3:30pm! We will be tabling in the UC the week prior, April 21st and 22nd with more information. You can sign up then or walk-in the day of the blood drive! If you have any questions please reach out to quetzaliandalon@pacificu.edu
