Keeping at center the unique needs of these student groups, one of these positions will focus on immigrant student success and the other on refugee student success. Join our dynamic team, where you'll collaborate on strategic initiatives, oversee grants, and champion equity in education. Our Immigrant/Refugee Student Success Plan Coordinators coordinate with various partners, manage grant programs, and provide professional learning support in equity, diversity, and inclusion.
The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OEDI) leads proactive equity initiatives that interrupt and eliminate harmful power dynamics that are endemic in Oregon’s education system. Our initiatives are driven by deep and ongoing engagement with the lived experiences of our students and families so that we can provide intentional structures, practices, and policies that uphold their intersecting identities, needs, and strengths. As a result of our agency’s collective commitment, we will create an equitable education system centered in justice, relationships, and healing to ensure that every student can achieve their highest potential. Our collective energy and urgency serves as a touchpoint for pivotal cross departmental and cross- agency collaboration towards a shared vision for equity throughout Oregon.

• Student Loan Forgiveness Program: if you have federal student loan debt or are thinking of going back to school, then you will want to look into this program.
