President's Commission on Latino/a/e Affairs
The Latino/a/e President’s Commission is a university-wide body committed to advancing the success, belonging, and visibility of Latino/a/e employees and communities at Oregon State University. We bring together staff, faculty, and allies who share an interest in strengthening OSU’s connection with Oregon’s growing Latino/a/e population and ensuring that our communities’ lived experiences, cultural wealth, and leadership help shape the future of the university.

We work through collaborative stewardship, community engagement, culturally grounded research, and advocacy to help OSU better serve its people and the state of Oregon.
