Community-University Partnerships
In keeping with the Portland State University (PSU) motto Let Knowledge Serve the City, Community-University Partnerships marshals support for over 400 faculty, 7,800 students, and 1,000 community partners via community-based learning (CBL) and other civic engagement initiatives to address specific and compelling issues locally, regionally and worldwide. For more information on other partnerships, please see the Community-University Partnerships website.
Community Watershed Stewardship Program - The CWSP is a partnership between Portland State University (PSU) and Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES). It was developed in response
to a pressing community need. As the Portland metro region has
urbanized, its streams, rivers and lakes have become increasingly
polluted and storm-water runoff has overloaded the city's drainage
infrastructure. The CWSP engages and supports the community and neighborhood residents
in watershed improvement projects through campus-community partnerships. Dr. Barry Messer, Assistant Professor, PSU Urban Studies and Planning, is the Principal Investigator of the program.
