Overview

Our team works closely with business and civic partners to advance strategic, regional priorities.

We bring PSU’s assets — students, faculty, research, technical assistance, innovation, technology — to bear on critical issues including economic growth, urban planning and development, innovation, entrepreneurship, community health and the K-12 education pipeline.

PSU’s Strategic Partners adhere to the following criteria:

• Deliver on the highest level, strategic goals of Portland State University
• Advance priority political, civic and business relationships
• Address critical metropolitan challenges identified in city, regional and state strategies
• Advance student and faculty learning, research and engagement
• Contain potential to serve as national models for university-community engagement
• Bring new financial resources to PSU in form of research grants, sponsored projects or gifts
