Alma Mater
“Green may we ever be”
Written and composed by Bonnie Miksch
Oh Portland State, our Alma Mater
Where the forest meets the running waters
On the homelands of the Chinook tribes
Where knowledge, art, and community thrive
Where the bridges cross, and the old elms tower
Where the crows amass at the sunset hour
And progress lies beyond each bend
We see no strangers, only friends
Oh Portland with our hearts we lead
Oh Portland dream a world we need
Let our knowledge serve, and our love guide our deeds
Oh Portland, green may we ever be
