Hey! My name is Oscar Arreguin Méndez i am a 2nd year student here at the UW (#godawgs) majoring in Public Health. I am from the Good ol’ Spokane, Washington! I can say without a doubt that joining UWL as a leader last year was one of the best things about my first year at the University of Washington, and it goes without saying that I’m just as amped to be returning as a mentor!

I spent this last summer working as an Orientation Leader welcoming incoming students into the UW. I tend to stay fairly busy on campus, this year I have the distinct honor of serving as the Director of the Queer Students Commission as well as being a FIG Leader. I enjoy spending my rare off time listening to R&B slow jams and the holy trinity Beyoncé, Nicki and Tinashe. I’m very passionate about supporting incoming students in their transition as well as advocating for social justice issues and promoting change. Can’t wait to meet y’all!
