Journalism: Portland program
might involve other schools
Continued from page 1
Journalism professor Jim Van
Leuven is helping shape the project.
The University has “pretty much
the only full-blown journalism and
communications programs in the
state,” Van Leuven said. “(Portland)
is where the market is if we want to
fulfill our mandate to the state.”
Van Leuven envisions a coopera
tive undergraduate internship and
class program for Portland, where
he hopes to offer students the op
portunity to intern with a media
company in the morning and take
classes in the afternoon. If students
enter the program toward the end of
their college career, they can move
right into a job, he said.
“If you’re doing a paid internship
at a business, you’re already trained
in that business,” Van Leuven said.
“We’re lining up very strong part
time and adjunct faculty... (profes
sionals who) want the opportunity
to get back to teaching on the side,”
Van Leuven said.
In addition, the program would
include at least one Eugene-based
full-time faculty member, Van Leu
ven said.
Fundraising for the Portland pro
gram is not yet complete.
“We’re seeking additional endow
ment dollars, which would be more
structural,” Gleason said.
The $6.5 million gift to the jour
nalism school is the largest in that
school’s history.
“The fact that a friend of this pro
gram believes that we were a good
place to invest $6.5 million was a
great validation of what we’ve been
doing at this school and our vision,”

combine public rela

and media manage

The other $2 million
not dedicated to the
Portland project will
go primarily toward
endowments for grad
MBA courses and also target profes
sionals who have been in the field for
three to five years, “people who’re al
ready successful and looking at man
agerial positions,” Van Leuven said.
“We’re hoping that corporations
and agencies will pay their employ
ees’ tuition,” he added.
Gleason said he hopes to cooper
ate with other institutions in Port
land to give journalism students the
best education possible.
“We’re very interested in having
conversations with other universi
ties in Portland,” Gleason said.
“This isn’t a football game; we want
to be collaborative in these efforts.”

“It’s extremely important to us to
be able to provide scholarships to
help offset the cost of a journalism
education,” Gleason said.
Senior journalism major Jason
Nowlin said he can see the benefits
of the program and thinks establish
ing relationships with firms in Port
land is important.
“I’d be excited to have an intern
ship anywhere,” Nowlin said.
Nowlin said he considered the
advertising program at Portland
State, but was interested in the Uni
versity because of its reputation
and tradition.
