<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Dreamers Working Group (DWG) is asking for your support. The DWG is preparing a training for UO faculty, staff, and administrators this winter 2026.
<br>
<br>
As part of this training, we want participants to have a better understanding of the experiences of our campus Dreamers. The DWG considers Dreamers to be faculty, staff or students who identify as any one of the following: DACAmented, undocumented, Tuition
Equity, or are from a Mixed Status family. <br>
<br>
Inviting UO Dreamers to share as a panel is unwise at this time, but we wish to provide an opportunity to directly share your experiences, anonymously. We will share responses in the upcoming training.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you are willing to share your experiences, please fill out the survey
<a href="https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eJTrUymgLrck9Nk">here</a> or at the following link:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The survey is completely anonymous. You can skip any questions and respond to only the questions you choose to respond to. Please complete by January 30.
