Associate Vice President for Student Development Matt Rygg posted a list of resources for students who may need additional support following the presidential election to the Pilots UP portal Monday morning.
"It’s important to say again, you are cherished, loved and you belong at the University of Portland. We honor and respect differences and embrace the human diversity among us," Rygg said in the post.
Below is the full list of resources:

Student Activities
Opportunities for voice and activism
- Write a letter to the Editor. The Beacon is an excellent avenue for students to create and participate in dialogue on a variety of issues and concerns.
- Speak to your ASUP Representatives. Student can talk to their senators about how the student body might want to collectively respond (forums, rallies, resolutions, petitions, etc.).
- Join a Multicultural Club. Bethany Sills and the Diversity coordinators also could respond if there are programming or training needs with regards to diversity and inclusion topics.
- Form a Club. Both the College Democrats and College Republican are inactive, and would be excellent outlets for involvement and expression.
