RAPSU, which stands for Retired Associates of Portland State University, is a group of seniors who continue to have a zest for living and learning. You do not need to have any previous association with PSU to join.

Imagine attending a recital by the lead cellist of the Oregon Symphony. How about students from the university's famed music department enacting a portion of their current offering? Or a geology professor telling us about this amazing state in which we live and play? Artists, political leaders, radio and television personalities from throughout the community share their knowledge.

We are sponsored by Portland State's tuition-free auditing program, the Senior Adult Learning Center (SALC).

Regular meetings of the Association are usually held on the the 1st and 2nd Thursdays from October through June. There are no scheduled meetings in September, December, June, July and August.  The first Thursday of December we have a holiday luncheon.    Changes of meeting dates are announced in the newsletter.  For a meeting calendar,  Click Here. 

The presentations starting January 2017 will be held on campus in the Parsons Gallery, 2nd Floor of the Urban Center PSU, 506 SW Mill Street, Portland, OR 97201.  Two RAPSU meetings per year are held  in Lincoln Hall in Room 326 (unless otherwise noted in your newsletter).

Here is an enlargement of the campus area.

WE'D LOVE TO MEET YOU. Come be our guest. There is a social gathering with cookies and coffee at 12:30 PM.  Announcements are made from 12:50 to 1:00 PM. The presentations from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM include topics of current interest by PSU and other faculty, community leaders, artists and performers and national and international speakers and researchers.
