A Taste of UP for Friends, Families, Founders

December 6, 2019

From early years—when Archbishop Alexander Christie would come to campus to celebrate his Name Day, i.e., later becoming Founder’s Day—UP has been privileged to share the life and wonders of its campus with friends and families. For a brief retrospective of the recent Junior & Senior Family Weekend, plus news of a picnic under the pines in 1934, follow this link to read a post from the University Archives and Museum.

For more information contact Carolyn Connolly, museum coordinator, at piatz@up.edu or x8038.

Spring Cleaning? Give to the University Archives

April 18, 2019

Are you spring cleaning your office? The University Archives aims to retain materials that relate to the University’s story. So as you clean and recycle, help us preserve and remember too. Materials of historical value describe the purpose, activities, history, values, and character of the University, department, or school; student and faculty milestones and achievements; unusual or outstanding events; annual events and special events (hosted events, outside speakers); and events which shape the University of Portland legacy over time.

Deciding which items are of enduring value can be more an art than a science. When in doubt, let the University Archives sort out the questions and papers by contacting Fr. Jeff Schneibel, C.S.C.,  at archives@up.edu or x7116.

New Museum Blog Post: “Spires of Learning Reach Up to the Sky”

September 21, 2018

Robert Franz and his sister Elsie Franz Finley advanced the University mission in 1995 when their generosity helped make construction of Franz Hall possible. The new Franz Campus will bring expanded sporting fields for both varsity and intramural sports, which complements the Franzs’ earlier gift, as from the beginning of UP’s time on the bluff, its mission has embraced not only clean living and clean air, hands, and hearts, but also assisting to shape our students as whole persons through leadership, learning, and formation. See the latest Archives and Museum blog post at this link.

A Century of the Rose Festival

The Mock’s Crest Theatre company puts on a Rose Festival drama at Mago Hunt throughout the month of June. But back in the day, UP students built floats for the Grand Floral Parade.

As a complement to the blog entry, the museum also has a photograph and artifacts display of UP’s 1988 Rose Festival parade entry and Queen’s Trophy in the display case on the first floor of Buckley Center near the studies abroad office.

Thank You Bill Reed!!

May 18, 2018

We are proud of our graduates and enriched as a family with every commencement weekend, and would like to remind everyone that the bows and ribbons, programs and schedules,  the details both large and small for the big show, are expertly managed by the UP events staff, who work behind the scenes to insure a successful and memorable University of Portland commencement weekend.  This year marks Bill Reed’s 28th and final commencement (29th counting his own graduation 1972). Bill is retiring this summer as director of university events, hard as that is to believe. The University Museum and Archives gives thanks and appreciation to Bill in the latest post on the Museum and Archives blog.

As a complement to the blog entry, the Museum also has a photograph and article display about Bill in the display case on the first floor of Buckley Center near the studies abroad office. Contact Carolyn Connolly, museum coordinator, at x8038 or piatz@up.edu for more information.
