Lily Beck joined the ambassador board because she sees education as a catalyst for change and opportunity. After experiencing the challenges of getting to college herself and supporting her peers through facilitating student programming at Oregon State, she saw how much work needed to be done. She saw how this was compounded by the inequitable hurdles for students of different backgrounds and doing work that promotes college accessibility for all.
When she’s not volunteering, Lily loves to paddleboard with friends and family, garden, try new restaurants, and enjoy all of Portland’s thrift shops.
