Jeannine B. Cowles Distinguished Visiting Professorship in Opera at Portland State University

In 2002, Jeannine B. Cowles, a local business woman and long-time supporter of Portland State University, presented the Department of Music with an endowment to bring an internationally recognized opera artist to Portland State University each spring to work with PSU students as they prepare the opera production. These artists bring an understanding of the highest levels of the professional world of opera to our students through coaching, directing, advising and Master classes.
