ATLAS TI and SAS

We have installed ATLAS TI and SAS on our Student Success Center desktops. Currently, only our desktops have SAS, and we are working on installing SAS to our laptops. Please let us know if there is any other software that would be beneficial to your academic success.

Linguistic Equity Research Gathering.

January 14th 11:30 am - 1:00 pm in Vanport 620M or Zoom. Lunch provided for those participating in person.

We hope to create a dedicated space for students to learn and engage with ongoing research on linguistic equity and health at the School of Public Health (SPH). Most importantly, the goal is to use this time to connect with one another, validate our collective knowledge, and share how we’d like to frame and shape SPH research that will directly impact our health and well-being (and those of future multilingual students!), de-centering English along the way. Please see the attached flyer for more information. Please RSVP here: https://portlandstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6StuUq6kI2JG5xA NEXT WEEK! Talk by Dr. Mariana Chilton: The Painful Truth About Hunger in America. Wednesday, January 15th 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm in Vanport 515. Join the SPH as they host the esteemed Dr. Mariana Chilton for an enlightening talk on “The Painful Truth About Hunger in America.” With over 25 years of dedicated research, programming, and advocacy in the field, Dr. Chilton is a leading expert in addressing the systemic roots of hunger and poverty in the United States. Her book challenges conventional wisdom about hunger, highlighting that the issue extends beyond mere food scarcity to deeper, systemic socio-political issues. Drawing on interviews and extensive research, Dr. Chilton argues that to truly eradicate hunger, a holistic approach involving personal, political, and spiritual transformation is necessary. This engaging talk will not only shed light on the hidden truths of food insecurity but also inspire actionable change. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain profound insights from a pioneering voice in public health advocacy! This is a hybrid event and open to the community! If you need accommodations, email sphcomms@ohsu.edu.
