ASPSU Advocate for PSU and Higher Education in Oregon!
2026-02-12
Oregon is facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Recession. As legislators face difficult budget decisions, they need to hear from you about the importance of protecting investments in PSU that will fuel a prosperous future for Oregon.
This year, we’re teaming up with all of Oregon’s public universities in Salem to make sure they know how important higher education is. Now, more than ever, it is important to share with legislators why protecting funding for PSU is critical to Oregon’s workforce and economic development. As the number one institution in the state for social mobility, we are giving Oregonians the opportunities they need to thrive and contribute to our communities.
It is more vital than ever that the student voice be represented in these conversations, so we are calling on our fellow PSU students to join us this February for University Day at the Capitol.
