Reaching out to Seattle alumni

PORTLAND STATE staff and administrators, including President Wim Wiewel, were in the Emerald City in February for a brunch reception with alumni at the World Trade Center. 

The PSU Alumni Association has targeted Seattle as the first of 25 areas with large alumni populations for its new alumni clubs. Seattle-area alumni Matthew Bear ’03, Jeffrey Eulberg ’04, Mary Sykora ’04, MA ’09, and Joseph Wiser ’05, are helping the University form a Seattle club for the approximately 3,000 alumni living in the area. 

University representatives will be back in Seattle Sept. 15 to host a tailgate party before the PSU Viking football team plays the Washington Huskies at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. The party will be at Pyramid Alehouse, 1201 First Avenue South.

Building a new online community

From Portland to anywhere in the world, PSU alumni should be able to connect with each other and the University online. Portland State will make these links possible in the next year with a new online program that allows secure instant communication. Stay tuned.

Homecoming, free seminars and tours, nationally prominent speakers, and the 13th annual Simon Benson Awards are planned for October 5-14 on campus and in the community. Mark your calendars.
