Meet University of Portland's student ambassadors. Among them they've done just about everything there is to do at UP: founded and participated in student clubs, volunteered for service projects, studied abroad all over the world, played intramurals (and won championships), conducted research, and lived on campus.
If you would like to schedule a video visit with one of our Student Ambassadors to learn more about their experience at UP, email visit@up.edu to schedule an appointment.
Follow our Instagram @UP_Admissions for updates about Admissions events and to connect with the UP community and current students.
