Propel March 2020 Newsletter

COVID-19 Response

During these challenging times, Propel PSU continues to serve Portland State and the community by providing support to help you explore your ideas and expand your impact. Like many, we’re endeavoring to do so in a way that aligns with current public health guidelines. Most of our staff will be working remotely whenever possible, but are still available via email, phone, and video conferencing. We are working to reschedule or cancel major in-person events and will let people know as soon as we do. Plans and changes for our three units are available on the Propel PSU website and individual unit pages: Innovation & Intellectual Property, the Portland State Business Accelerator, and the Center for Entrepreneurship. More information about Portland State University's response to the pandemic is available at PSU's Coronavirus Response website.
