When I look to the future of Portland State I see a university that is integrated with its community—so integrated, in fact, that the community automatically recognizes that Portland State University is part of the solution for civic issues and problems. My vision is of a university so thoroughly engaged in its community that people throughout the region refer to it as "our university." I see a university that is well known for the quality of education our students receive, for the importance of the research we perform, and for the positive impact we've had on quality of life and the economy of our region and our state.

In the attached document you will find highlights that explain how Portland State University is a partner in Oregon’s economic progress.
