Purpose
As the official voice of Chicano/a students at the University of Oregon, MEChA's main objective is to provide a feeling of community and security, while increasing the recruitment and retention of Oregon Chicanos/as. This intent, along with the academic support, the cultural events, the visitation days we host, and our work in the community is meant to inspire success in U of O Chicanos/as and ensure that the Chicano culture and ways of thinking be represented at the UO. The UO MEChA is the MEChA satellite of Oregon. As such it has the role of leading the MEChA's at Portland State and Oregon State Universities, and directing the establishment of new MEChA's in Oregon. MEChA works towards educating the University about issues concerning the 300,000 Raza who live in Oregon.
