With last week’s publication of the Summer 2019 issue of Portland magazine, the marketing office would like to remind upbeat readers that we are happy to hear any and all stories that may be of interest to the campus community as well as alumni, parents, friends, and outside audiences. We especially love to give credit to random acts of kindness and generosity, which happen with alarming frequency here at our home on The Bluff, but our ears are open to any story or subject that might capture what we do here.
Please send your stories to upbeat editor Marc Covert at mcovert@up.edu. We can’t guarantee all stories will make the cut, but we’re in the business of story catching and story telling, so there’s a good chance we can use them in Portland magazine, social media, web releases, and many other outlets.
