Jesus Narvaez: Harnessing the power of education

The first time Jesus “Chuy” Narvaez spent the night in a US Immigration detention center, he was eight years old. He and his mother were detained after trying to cross the US-Mexico border.

This past spring, Narvaez became a “Double Duck,” a UO graduate with two degrees, and was immediately offered a position teaching social studies at North Eugene High School with the 4j School District.
