PSU Showcase
Thank you for making this year's broadcast a success!
One of the nation's most innovative universities is in our backyard, and it's here for all of us. The average Portlander has at least seven PSU grads in their network, so look around. Portland State alumni are everywhere — we're your neighbors, your friends, your children, your employees.
The second annual televised PSU Showcase features students, alumni and professors who are making our city a better place. You'll learn how incredibly important Portland State is to our city and region through a surprising mix of stories and performances.
Because when an urban-serving university like PSU wins, Portland wins.
