COE Communications

COE News & Story Idea Submission

Student Newsletter

Have an important announcement: event, opportunity, resource, key date or deadline you'd like current COE students to know about? Have a fun COE photo to share? Let us know using the form below. 

*The student newsletter goes to all currently enrolled College of Education students, so submissions should be relevant to this audience. 

**It is sent the first Tuesday of each month. Submissions are due the Thursday before.

Story Idea

Did you or someone you know receive an honor or award? Do you know someone in the COE making a difference in the community? We are always looking to shine a light on student success, alumni impact, and the people and programs that make our community unique. Please share your idea using the form prompts below and we'll be in touch if it's a good fit. 

*Stories may be featured across various COE and PSU communication channels. We are unfortunately not able to develop every story idea. Story selection depends on multiple factors including timeliness, subject matter, alignment with broader COE objectives, and more. 

Currently Submission

Currently is a weekly newsletter for the employees of Portland State University, published by University Communications. News items, events and accolades should be sent to currently@pdx.edu. Your submissions (publications, presentations, grants, etc.) will be shared in the weekly PSU faculty newsletter and published online.
