The Casa Educacional Office is one of four academic support offices located in the Minority Education Office (MEO). A student resource center and computer lab with Internet access are housed in the Minority Education Office. Offices are located on the second floor of the Kerr Administration Building next to Financial Aid. The Casa Educacional Office seeks to increase Latino/Latina and Chicano/Chicana success at Oregon State University by providing students with a viable support system and advocacy services. This Office is committed to the recruitment, retention and academic success of Latino/Latina and Chicano/Chicana students. In addition to being a Latino/Latina and Chicano/Chicana student advocate, the Casa Educacional Coordinator makes referrals to academic departments and assists students with identifying financial resources and personal support systems on and off campus. The coordinator serves as a liaison between students and faculty at OSU. Educational and cultural information is also provided to students, the OSU community, the surrounding communities and schools.
