About US

Our Story

A variety of Latinx alumni visited the UO Campus for “M.E.Ch.A Alumni Night” winter term where we had the opportunity to meet current Latinx undergrads from all over campus. We were astounded by how engaged and grateful the students were to hear our experiences both in undergrad as well as in the professional world. As a result of the conversations we had, we realized the need for a network that connects Latinx undergrads with UO Latinx alumni and Latinx Professionals .We are excited to introduce y’all to Patos Para Prosperidad! PxP is a resource/network hub by UO Latinx alumni, for undergraduate students and community members.
