W. Straub Fellowships State Treasurer Tobias Read announced Tuesday the creation of the Robert W. Straub Fellowships pro- gram, which seeks to attract exceptional talent to help Oregonians to be more financially secure. The program is a new partnership between the Or- egon State Treasury and Portland State University and includes two paid internships: a 10-week sum- mer fellowship and an eight-month residency. Candi- dates are graduate business or government students — from Oregon or elsewhere — who have an interest in the nexus of financial business and public service. Treasury is the state’s financial hub and manages billions of dollars in investments, public bonding, banking and finance programs. About a quarter of the Treasury’s staff including much of its senior lead- ership will be eligible to retire within the next five years. The Treasurer was joined at the announcement by Keisling; Oregon Investment Council Chair Rukaiyah Adams, the chief investment officer at Meyer Memo- rial Trust; and Oregon Investment Council member Rex Kim, an investment manager at the Multnomah Group. The new program is named after former Governor and Treasurer Robert W. Straub, a state finance pio- neer who led the creation of the Oregon Investment Council in the 1960s. Attendees included members of the Straub fami- ly, former state treasurers Jim Hill and Randall Ed- wards, and university students. For more information, visit http://www.oregon. gov/treasury/Pages/Straub-Fellowships.aspx. The page includes a link to the fellowships program at Portland State, which will handle the application pro- cess. The summer program will pay a $6,000 stipend and the eight-month program will pay a $24,000 sti- pend.
