Portland State Magazine Spring 2012

New tradition starts here FORMER STUDENT ATHLETES , cheerleaders, team managers and trainers are invited to become founding members of the new V Club and reconnect with the University and former teammates. "The V Club is a continuation of the unique tradition experienced by every student athlete who passed through the Park Blocks," says Tygue Howland ' 10, a former Viking quarterback. Howland helped start the V Club this past year as an intern in the Athletics Department. Cost to join the V Club is $20 a year; however, gifts to support student athletic scholarships and specific spores programs are encouraged. Membership benefits include specific game tickers, party invitations, and a newsletter. Former student athletes who are currently members of a sport-specific support club will receive automatic membership in the V Club.
