We Are Portland’s Engine. Now We Need Your Voice.
Since 1946, PSU has been Oregon's engine for workforce development and life-changing education. Now, our ability to Let Knowledge Serve is compromised. Federal funding for critical regional research is suspended, and essential student financial aid is suddenly uncertain.
With our $1.8 billion economic contribution and hundreds of community partnerships at stake, your voice is essential. Help us ensure PSU can continue delivering on equitable access to education and vital public impact research.
Share your PSU story immediately and stand up for the institution that serves our city.
