Meet Portland State’s newest students

PSU welcomes 3,700 new undergraduate students this fall, our most diverse incoming class ever. They come primarily from Oregon and the West Coast and from as far away as Kuwait and India. More than half our new students are transfers, making us Oregon’s top transfer school and continuing our 75-year tradition of serving nontraditional students. We are proud to introduce PSU’s incoming class of fall 2022 — the problem solvers, innovators and creative thinkers who are turning ideas into action in Portland and beyond.
