Fall 2009

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the University of Portland’s Center for Entrepreneurship!

Wow – we still have a ways to go to dig out of this recession as the most recent Oregon unemployment number hit 12.2%. It’s a good thing we all love entrepreneurship and look for opportunity and excitement in places that others may only see gloom and doom. Check out our programs and events on the calendar to the left that can help you turn these opportunities into reality.

We’ve made great progress recently formalizing our relationship with the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network and opening a satellite start-up incubator office at Third & Washington downtown. These partnerships will yield great benefits for our students and the community. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the people who made it possible.

All the best,

Jon
