Portland Scientists To Study Local Threat From Diesel Exhaust
https://www.opb.org/news/article/diesel-exhaust-portland-scientists-epa-study/
Linda George, PSU professor of environmental science, will lead a study of the toxic effects of diesel pollution in Portland.
Researchers from Portland State University and Reed College will study local diesel exhaust emissions with the aim of identifying neighborhoods most vulnerable to the air pollutant.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $466,276 grant to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and local partners to conduct the two-year study.
The lead researcher will be Linda George, a PSU environmental science professor, working with PSU colleague Vivek Shandas, an urban planning professor and Juliane Fry, a Reed chemistry professor.
“We’ll be gathering data to create essentially a fingerprint of different types of diesel pollution,” George said in a prepared release.

Took my daughter to the campus this morning for her appointment to get her belongings out of a locker at the student rec center. It’s been closed due to pandemic, appointments are used to maintain social distance, la de da. Thus the rabbit hole trap was set for me.

A picture from 1988 of the Portland Center for Advanced Technology. PSU had just acquired it from the city (it was the Water Bureau HQ) by the time my two years had started. I had a few classes in there while semi-laboring under the delusion that I could be an Electrical Engineer.
I also went towards the Blocks and took a couple videos. Plenty of overgrowth right now. Staff were working in and out of Smith on mothballing revisions or whatever.
Still, the renovations, the improvements, the overall growth... astounding.

$1 Million Gift Helps Establish New Professorship For PSU School Of Music & Theater And Advances Its Social Justice Mission
https://www.pdx.edu/news/let-singing-serve-city
Longtime Portland State University advocates Greg Hinckley and Mary Chomenko Hinckley have made a $1 million gift to support the university’s distinguished choral music program.
The Hinckley family made a lead gift to establish the Gregory K. & Mary Chomenko Hinckley Professor of Choir, Music Education & Social Justice within the PSU College of the Arts’ School of Music & Theater. Once fully funded, the $2 million endowment will support in perpetuity a full-time faculty member to work with undergraduate and graduate students in the school’s Music Education and Choral Conducting programs, as well as to create new initiatives focused on social and racial justice in the Portland region.
“Such a meaningful philanthropic investment demonstrates PSU’s commitment to combat systemic racism and advance justice on campus and within the greater Portland community, and to help create a more equitable world through inclusive educational opportunities and city service,” said PSU President Stephen Percy.
Since its founding in 1975, PSU’s Chamber Choir has earned more than 30 awards in elite international choir competitions and produced the first university choral album to hit #1 on the Billboard Classical Chart. Under the direction of Ethan Sperry, Barre Stoll Professor and Director of Choral Activities, the choir has developed a diverse repertoire of world music and has empowered thousands of PSU singers, many of whom are the first in their families to attend college.
“At its heart choral music is about raising up voices and creating common understanding,” said Sperry. “Its unique ability to bridge cultural and ideological divides makes it an ideal tool for breaking down barriers. I am profoundly grateful to the Hinckleys for their steadfast commitment to work that feels more vital than ever."
Greg Hinckley, retired president of Wilsonville-based Mentor Graphics, has been actively involved with Portland State University for more than a decade and serves as chair of the PSU Board of Trustees. Mary Chomenko Hinckley is an accomplished artist who serves on the PSU College of the Arts Dean’s Council. Over the years the couple has funded scholarships and achievement prizes for both choral music and engineering students at PSU.
“Mary and I believe in the powerful impact that Portland State University has on our region, and we honor its special commitment to serve aspiring students and benefit our city,” said Greg Hinckley. “This gift acknowledges the virtuosity and enthusiasm of both Choral Director Ethan Sperry and PSU’s students. We expect as well to encourage and inspire new voices in our community, particularly within Portland’s homeless community.”
“One of the most fundamental ways that donors serve students is by providing support for outstanding faculty,” said PSU Foundation President Sarah Schwarz. “This wonderful gift is a reminder that at the heart of every great university are the faculty whose passions and pursuits help define it.”
