Urban University Portfolio Project
The "Urban Universities Portfolio Project: Assuring Quality for Multiple Publics" is a national initiative aimed at developing a new medium for communicating about the work and effectiveness of urban public higher education. Portland State University, along with five other leading urban public comprehensive universities, is working to create an electronic institutional portfolio that will describe and document how well the institution fulfills its mission. The aim is to do this in a way that speaks to a range of internal and external audiences. The portfolio will have a particular focus on student learning, and on the accomplishments and characteristics unique to Portland State University. For example the Portfolio may examine how Portland's urban environment enriches learning opportunities and how academic offerings are adapted to the diverse needs of urban students.
The six participating institutions are: Portland State University, California State University-Sacramento, Georgia State University, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, University of Illinois-Chicago, and the University of Massachusetts-Boston. More information about the project, including the grant proposal, can be found on the Web at the Urban Universities Portfolio Project
