Don’t let businesses run Portland Business owner Don’t let businesses run Portland Business owners shouldn’t decide how the city is run By: Nick Gatlin Earlier this year, Governor Tina Kotek formed the Portland Central City Task Force (PCCTF). PCCTF is charged with forming a plan to improve the city and address issues such as houselessness, crime and drug-use. The task force includes city leaders, such as Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, business owners and other community leaders. This roster is missing one important group—people who actually live and work downtown. In the end, there are two real outcomes for the task force. Either it makes no real difference at all—proving to be a waste of time for everyone involved—or it will make a meaningful difference to the city, in which case downtown revitalization will be carried out based on the interests of business owners and the Oregon Business Council. Neither of these are good options, and Portland deserves better. #portlandstateuniversity #portlandstate #pdxedu #pdxnews #portlandstatevikings #portlandnewspaper #studentnewspaper #psuvanguard #portlandtrimet #portlandmax #tinakotek #portlandcentralcitytaskforce Captions: Slide 1: A stripped Great Clips sign from the storefront’s previous business—just one of the many businesses which lay dormant following COVID-19.

Satire: Suck it, losers A letter from former Presi Satire: Suck it, losers A letter from former President Stephen Percy Nick Gatlin During my tenure as Portland State president, I had the opportunity to serve the university in many ways. In that time, I made a few policy decisions that some members of the campus community disagreed with. The decision to rearm Campus Public Safety Officers (CPSO), for instance, was one initiative toward the end of my term that many students disagreed with, and you made that known. I’m writing here today to say to you all—suck it, losers. Sure—maybe at times I seemed a little disconnected from the campus community and might not have had the best grasp on the issues. But really, who does? You would not be able to keep all the facts and figures of university business in your head. You really can’t blame me if a few things were forgotten every once in a while. I’m gone, and you get your fancy new president. I never wanted the job in the first place, so I have two words for you all as I leave—good luck!

Science for the community Connection through scien Science for the community Connection through science By: Cameron Rodriguez Down a grass path and hidden away on the side of a highway, Clackamas High School enjoyed a field trip at Rock Creek. Students spread out down the stream to collect data for their class and a master sheet of data which spanned multiple years collected continuously by thousands of students. Students immersed in their environment could see living, moving samples rather than the sterile still pictures of river invertebrates. This place offers an accessible outlet, both for students to explore science and for scientific research to be expanded through student involvement. This was an opportunity to introduce students to scientific knowledge and spark their interest. By providing experiences like exploring a creek, students could discover new interests they never knew they had. “We had about 100 students show up to a county council meeting and symbolically vote for funding for continued restoration and education around restoration. And to me that was the highlight of my career. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.” —Dr. Patrick Edwards is an environmental scientist program developer speaking about an experience where community science promoted action. #portlandstateuniversity #portlandstate #pdxedu #psu #portlandstatenewspaper #psuvanguard #studentnews #portlandsciencenews #portlandscience #portlandoregon #communityscience #feildtrip Captions: Around PSU campus there are a number of different plant species ranging from native to invasive.

A new vision for The Lot SSC revives vacant lot af A new vision for The Lot SSC revives vacant lot after eight years By: J. M. Vincent SSC is preparing for a planting event on this lot, which is a significant change considering its eight years of sitting empty. This lot is now being called The Green. The near quarter-acre of land sits on 12th Avenue across from Stephen Epler Residence Hall, south of Parking Structure 3 and below the constantly whirring traffic on the exit ramp from Interstate 405 to United States Route 26. The well-cared for community orchard—leased from the Oregon Department of Transportation and managed by SSC—abuts the south of the lot. It starkly contrasts the empty lot in question. Megan Horst—associate professor and director for the master of urban and regional planning program—focuses her research on urban agriculture, among other things. She grew familiar with the lot over the past several years, passing it on her commute to and from campus. “There’s a lot of evidence that points to the mental health and community benefits of green infrastructure,” Horst said. She also believes the project will help activate the area on the western edge of campus which has been neglected for many years. #portlandstateuniversity #portlandstate #pdxedu #psu #portlandstatenewspaper #psuvanguard #studentnews #portlandsciencenews #portlandscience #portlandoregon #sustainability #greenspace @psu_ssc Captions: Slide 1: The remnants of King Albert Residence Hall.
