Indoor and Outdoor Mandate for Masks
In accordance with the statewide mask mandates, all people age 5 and older are required to wear a mask inside University of Portland buildings and crowded outdoor spaces on campus, including athletic events, regardless of vaccination status.
Face coverings are not required in private office space, private laboratories, and dorm rooms. Please read the full face-covering policy for more details. Until further notice, the University will continue to follow the latest county, state, and federal guidelines, recommendations, or requirements for face coverings.
UP NURses Gain Real-World Experience Despite COVID
Even though COVID-19 has limited some of the field experience opportunities usually available to students, by the same token it has opened up some surprising new avenues for growth and development.
Thanksgiving Special Hours and Events on Campus
Many campus services have shortened hours Thanksgiving week, but students staying on campus will still have plenty of opportunities to connect with each other. Campus ministry offers Thanksgiving Mass and on Saturday is partnering with the Moreau Center for a tree decorating event at the Maybelle Center in downtown Portland. Residence halls will offer festivities too. Students in Kenna Hall will feast on Thanksgiving lunch together at Bauccio Commons and later that night will have their own Charlie Brown Thanksgiving while watching the movie. Check with your hall staff to see what’s planned.
What we're thankful For
Here at UP, Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday for feasting, it’s a state of mind — a feeling of gratitude we strive to keep in our hearts every day of the year. We recently asked members of the UP community what they’re thankful for this year. Here are some of the responses we received.
