OASIS Hope Scholars Student Program Coordinator / STDT 4

The Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services (OASIS) is one of the largest learning communities at UCSD that empowers students personally, academically, and professionally. Our students and staff are innovative, productive and engaged global citizens who are committed to social responsibility and promoting a diverse community of people, ideas and perspectives. We accomplish this through academic success initiatives, leadership development and bridging partnerships that move our students to change the world.

The mission of OASIS is to facilitate the intellectual and personal development of UC San Diego students, with a particular focus on students who are the first in their families to attend college, students from under resourced communities and underrepresented students. Through a challenging and supportive environment that emphasizes collaboration, validation, equity and social justice, OASIS contributes positively to students’ retention, achievement, learning and empowerment.
