Mission Statement
ASUP’s mission statement taken directly from the by-laws is as follows:
ASUP serves and represents all UP students by actively seeking opinions and encouraging participation. As leaders, it is our privilege and responsibility to foster community-based upon justice, integrity, and respect. Through transparency, professional communication, and proactive involvement, we hope to strengthen the current UP community as well as build a foundation for future generations. ASUP also encourages and values respectful discourse where we uphold compassion, decorum, dignity, collaboration, and accountability to best serve our constituents. All elected officials and visitors will receive that same respect. ASUP actively works as one to advocate for and serve the student body at the University of Portland.
