Submit a Student Recognition Item

In support of the first goal of Portland State’s five-year strategic plan — elevating student success — Currently now features student success each term, acknowledging achievements such as publications, scholarships, grants, presentations and more. Here are some of the students who made us proud fall term.

Submissions should include the following:

• The student's full name
• The student's year and area of study (example: "Jane Doe, a junior studying art history")
• Student's job, volunteer or research position if applicable. For example, if a student won an award for their work as an employee with the PSU Residence Hall Association, their position with residence life would be necessary for the write-up
• The full name of the award, honor, scholarship or fellowship the student received
• The date the award was given
• Any other relevant information about the award, such as length of fellowship, total scholarship amount, location of award ceremony
• A horizontal photo if you have one
• Links to any other additional information you would like to be included in the write-up, such as news stories; web pages or documents for the awards/scholarships/fellowships; and accessible pages for publications (such as the Amazon listing for a student book available for purchase, or the article's journal web page for an academic publication)

Please submit items through the Currently submission form or by emailing currently@pdx.edu.
