Presenters:

Donna Ramos Barsana, a proud alumna of Pacific University Oregon, Class of 2008, currently serves as the Associate Director of Admissions at Pacific. She is the first point of contact for prospective students from all Hawaiian Islands and the California Bay Area.

Donna completed her undergraduate studies in Psychology and Sociology at Pacific University. She furthered her education at Chaminade University, earning a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in School Counseling in 2010. Beyond her roles in education, Donna is a skilled financial advisor, specializing in debt management, which adds a unique layer to her advising capabilities.

When she's not guiding students through the admissions process or helping them plan financially for their education, Donna enjoys music. A multi-instrumentalist, she plays the guitar, ukulele, drums, saxophone, and piano. Donna's hobbies also include exploring the great outdoors and traveling to new places, activities that reflect her adventurous spirit and love for nature. 

Griffin Shaulis, an alumna of the University of Oregon, serves as the Financial Aid counselor and outreach coordinator for undergraduate students at Pacific University. He is the first point of contact for prospective students whose last name ends in (A-L). 

Griffin completed his undergraduate studies in Communication Disorders and Sciences at the University of Oregon. Before that, he earned his International Baccalaureate Diploma at the International School of Beaverton. When he's not helping students plan financially for their education, Griffin enjoys running and backpacking. He's also led a group of University of Oregon students in partnership with Northwest Youth Corps to build and maintain backpacking trails on the Oregon coast using environmentally conscious methods.
