Diversity at PSU

Students in the Park Blocks

At Portland State, equity is not the work of a single office — it is a shared responsibility across our entire campus. From our cultural resource centers to campus-wide initiatives, we are working together to ensure that Oregon’s most diverse university is a place where every student and employee truly belongs and can thrive.
