Oregon's Kitchen Table

Our friends from the Gray Family Foundation Youth Leadership for the Environment crew are here! We’re so happy to host youth leaders and our fellow YLE cohort from around the state for the weekend. Our very own Allison and Jupiter - two Hatfield Futures alums and dynamic duo are co-facilitating. Here’s to lots of laughter, learning from each other, and discovery!

Hatfield Futures is officially underway!! ✨

Now it’s real. Hatfield Futures 2026 swag has arrived!! Camp Countdown: 3 days

It is officially less than a week away to Hatfield Futures and we have our LAST team post! We're rounding out all of the incredible teams of students and wonderful folks who make Hatfield Futures possible with our team guides.

The team guides work alongside each student team to help them craft their topic and be a resource for their proposal throughout the week. Our team guides this year include: Mark, Barbara, Jeff, Katie, Holly, Larry, Nabil, and Bill!

Are you having déjà-vu? You might be!

We realized we made a mistake with an earlier posting of the last cross-regional Hatfield Future team and so we are re-posting their info to make sure they have the right quotes, and snacks, attributed to them. This is the eighth and final team for Hatfield Futures, which is now just a month away (we can hardly believe it!!). Click through to learn more about this wonderful team!

We're so excited to have the students on PSU's campus in just a few weeks to do lots of future-thinking together. See you all there!

There is still time left to share what gives you a sense of belonging in college or training programs!! Share what you think by June 1st!

A sense of belonging matters: Students are more likely to continue their education if they feel like they belong in places of learning. Research shows that students’ sense of belonging makes a difference in student success. What can help Oregon students feel a sense of belonging at college and training programs?

We wants to hear from you! Share what you think through our survey: tinyurl.com/hecc-belonging

What you and others share will help the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission and partners decide on ways to help foster belonging for students.
