Partners in Education COMMUNITY GIVING REPORT 1998-99 PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION A Vision for 'Our University' 1 believe that we will look back to 1998-1999 as a turning point for PSU in more ways than one. Our distinctive com– munity-based brand of education, looked to as a model for undergraduate curriculum, continued to garner national praise. We saw the beginning of a new level of recognition and support for higher education from our gover– nor and state legislature. And, most important to the fulfillment of Portland State's long-term promise, we are grateful for the President Bernstine envisions Portland State as a university that adds significantly more to the community than it takes in return. growing commitment and generosity of PSU's alumni and friends . Inside we recognize some of the many people whose philanthropic con– tributions are helping Portland State University take its place as our region's most significant resource. Thanks to your commitment, PSU has been and will continue to be the door to a better future for learners from all stages of life. Our message to every prospective student-whether in a mid– dle school classroom or already in the workforce-is, if you work hard and prepare yourself, there will be a place for you at this University in a high– quality program that will help you realize your dreams. My vision is of a Portland State University so thoroughly engaged with its community that every conversation or public discussion turns to a PSU pro– gram and its impact on the life of the region, a PSU so engaged that people throughout the area refer to it as "our university." My vision is of a university that adds significantly more to the community than it takes in return. Thank you for working with us to turn this vision into reality. Daniel 0.
