PALCUS vs @uni

PALCUS is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. It was founded in 1991 by a group of successful, forward-thinking Portuguese-Americans with the purpose of providing a singular national voice that would advocate for the interests of Portuguese-Americans in the United States. At the center of their vision was to establish and maintain channels of communication between the government of the Republic of Portugal, via the Embassy of Portugal to Washington, D.C., and the U.S. congressional delegation representing Portuguese-American communities.

@uni is a space that has been crafted for university students to be themselves and meet like minded peers outside of class and student societies. Our University experiences online are limited to those provided by Universities like watching lectures or booking activities. What we are lacking is a space just to hangout and get to know other uni students online. A space to ask for a laptop charger when your laptop is almost dead and all your friends skipped the 9AM. A space to comfortably share about a crush you have on the person that always sits in the front row during the Tuesday afternoon lecture (in hopes that they see it and say hi). A space to see what everyone is up to on campus when you magically catch ‘freshers flue’ in April. @uni is your online social space while at uni.
