Covert Gallery: “Running Through Time: Track and Field at the University of Portland”

January 10, 2020

The University’s Track and Field program has been in existence for over a century and known for its excellence. Early on, the program established the Northwest Invitational Track Meet as a signature annual event. The modern program continued to gain distinction under former coach Mike Johnson and current coach Rob Conner. We invite you to visit this exhibit featuring historic photographs, trophies, medals, and a pair of early track shoes replete with spikes. The exhibit will be on display in the Covert Gallery on the Clark Library’s main floor through March.

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.

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.
