Kyle Bray, Amy Spring, and Kevin Kecskes, Academic Affairs faculty, will receive an additional two-year, $170,000 grant from the Multnomah County Department of Human Services. The grant will allow them to continue the work they started in fall 2007, when DHS awarded the PSU Center for Academic Excellence $100,000 to launch a leadership development, civic engagement, and mentorship program with 10 high-need Portland public schools.
