The Pamplin School of Business fosters the education of a new generation of global leaders to change the world for the better. The generous support from our friends and alumni is already helping our students and faculty reach new heights, to make change. Thanks to our donors, our students and community are gaining invaluable knowledge, experience, skills and opportunities to become intellectual and innovative leaders.
Look at a few recent examples of how donations have made a significant difference both on The Bluff and beyond.
In order to continue to grow and build on established success, there are three main areas where your support of our innovative programs and state of the art resources will have the biggest impact are:
Preparing students with experience to go with their education
Our innovative professional development program — the P4 — supports students throughout their academic career by providing them with the skills they need to succeed in today's dynamic professional world. From strength and interest analysis, to mock interviews, resume workshops, and dress for success seminars, and, finally, to job shadows, community service projects, and professional internships, students proactively develop professional skills and learn how to market those skills. Running a successful professional development program — which includes not only the specific activities listed above but also networking events in Seattle, San Francisco and Portland, campus speakers, and alumni engagement — requires annual funding of $30,000. To support the P4 program, and the ambitious students partaking, with a donation please email us at P4@up.edu. To assist with specific activities such as internships, job shadows and community service projects, please email us at P4@up.edu as well.
Pamplin School of Business has Bloomberg Terminals that students, faculty, and staff can use.
Helping students to understand the financial complexities in the trading world.
Bloomberg is one of the leading global providers of 24-hour financial news and information, including real-time stock quotes. The Pamplin School of Business is proud that we have the largest Trading Room on the west coast, with sixteen Bloomberg terminals available for student use. Students of all majors use Bloomberg terminals to get historical financial information, company statistics, and market averages. The University of Portland Investment Association (one of the most active student run clubs in the Pamplin School) uses the Bloomberg terminals to research new investments and manage their investment portfolio. Students can also use the Bloomberg terminals to browse thousands of job postings from around the country. Keeping this amazing resource on campus and available to all students requires annual funding of $50,000.
Opportunities for students to connect with organizations and participate in various activities
UP provides an opportunity for any student to become involved with numerous student-run organizations, creating opportunities to meet fellow students with similar interests. There are nine active clubs within the PSOB. Each of these clubs provide students with the opportunity to pursue leadership roles, network with business professionals, gain real life business experience through professional conferences and community projects, and relate business to current ethical, cultural, and political issues. You can learn about each of these organizations and their activities here.
Some examples of how your donation to PSOB's student associations might be used include:
