Senior Awards 2024
A Message from the Provost, Dr. David Mengel:
At the Awards Breakfast at the start of each Founders’ Day, our University of Portland community celebrates its rich past, exciting present, and hope-filled future. We celebrate the past by honoring the bold leaders who dared to dream of a Catholic university overlooking the Willamette River; we celebrate the present by recognizing our most outstanding graduating seniors and their academic achievements; and we celebrate the future by anticipating the great achievements that these graduates will accomplish in the years ahead.
We are proud to recognize these amazing University of Portland students and their impressive accomplishments as they prepare to leave the Bluff for futures filled with hope and promise.
