program is called “ ¡Éxito!” or “suc

stu d e n ts in O re g o n ’s p u b lic
schools, but just 5 percent, or 1,236
students from PSU’s student body.

ing population in Oregon, Latinos
are the m ost underrepresented
group at PSU, relative to their num
bers statewide.

accompanied Wiewel in announc

and nowhere is it more disturbing
than in the Latino community.”
The program is a result of a cam
pus task force to bring more Latino
students to the PSU campus and
provide more support to help them
graduate. Recommendations imple
