Welcome to the PSU Foundation, Te'ana Miller! ✨

PSU continues to serve the city, region, and state of Oregon.

We're proud to share that Oregon Business magazine has named the Portland State University Foundation one of Oregon's 100 Best Nonprofits to work for, moving up to number 11 this year! This marks our fourth consecutive year on the list, and we couldn't have done it without our incredible employees. With 34 days of paid time off, up to 12% employer contributions to 401(k) plans and PSU-affiliated benefits, we're committed to creating a positive, supportive workplace where we can all thrive. One employee put it best: "Everyone here is very helpful, and we truly believe in the work we're doing." Thank you to our amazing team for your dedication and belief in the work we do together. https://lnkd.in/gX8JNdJf #BestNonprofits #PSU #OregonBusiness #NonprofitExcellence #Teamwork #HigherEducation #OregonJobs

As Congressman Blumenauer joins Portland State University upon his retirement, we are excited about his impact on revitalizing downtown Portland and collaborating with students, faculty, and regional partners to shape the city’s future.
