BIPOC Transfer Student Alumni Panel & Resource Connection

On October 20th we hosted the first BIPOC Transfer Student Alumni Panel and Resource Connection event as a part of National Transfer Student Week. The online event began with a BIPOC transfer student alumni panel. Following the facilitated discussion, the panel opened up for a general Q&A where attendees were able to ask questions directly to panelists. Breakout rooms were then opened and students were able to choose to join a room to speak with advisors, resource center staff, etc. As part of the event, we also released the resource map.

The resource map is designed to clarify the edges of resource centers on campus and assists in navigating where to go for what when transitioning to Portland State University. Click here to download a PDF version of the resource map.
