Reflecting on a great year

It is a joy this holiday season to reflect on the many accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff, and community over the past year.

• With a team of community partners, PSU professors designed and built the first prototypes of healthy, affordable green modular classrooms for Oregon’s public schools.
• PSU’s President Wiewel received the inaugural Presidential Award for his commitment to sustainability leadership from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools.
• Through the Solutions Generator program, a team of students built a bioswale on a local farm to study the potential for filtering agricultural runoff and improving local water quality.
• This fall, University Honors granted the first ever PSU sustainability scholarships to help exceptional students reach their dreams by pursuing education at Portland State.
