<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px">One of your wonderful colleagues on internship asked me to dig around for some sources of Commencement travel funding to support our soon-to-be graduates and recent early-career graduates. I checked within the COE
and most sources are dedicated to recruitment and transition TO the UO, which is logical. But these is no support to celebrate the end. (LOL - The UO Alumni Association helps you celebrate be sending you a letter asking you for a donation!!)</span></div>
<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px"><br class="">
</span></div>
<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px">Digging further, Krista helped me find this through the University and Division of Grad Studies. See below. Mostly, these are loan options - but they might be reasonable for immediate expenses like travel costs to
UO for graduation.</span></div>
<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px"><br class="">
</span></div>
<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px">This doesn’t help our graduates who are early-career and no longer students. But I’ll keep looking. If any of you have ideas and leads, please let me know. </span><span class="" style="font-size:14px">Meanwhile, I
think you all as our student network will be communicating about housing ideas, and it's best for me to leave that to you all. </span></div>
<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px"><br class="">
</span></div>
<div><span class="" style="font-size:14px">Talk to you all soon!</span></div>
