Sign up to our last conversation project of the term! We are partnering with ASPSU, Menasa, Cultural reasource centers, and oregon humanities to bring students and community members together for an open and engaging conversation about interpersonal conflict, communication, and growth. LINK IN BIO

Do you love working with kids? Hang out with the kindergarteners from Alder as they visit PSU and get a feel for "being at college"!
Join us for a morning of fun as 60+ kindergarteners from Alder Elementary descend on the PSU campus for a morning! Students will split into groups to help three classes of kindergarteners "experience college" for day. You'll help kiddos navigate a student activities tabling fair in the morning, sit with them as they eat their lunch and talk to them about what they love to do and what you love about college, and then support them as they rotate through some short hands-on activities designed to get them engaged and excited about the idea of college.
