ASUP donates $375,000 to fund the new Welcome and Engagement Center
The Associated Students of the University of Portland (ASUP) has decided to pull $375,000 out of the quasi endowment fund to donate to the new Welcome and Engagement Center that is a part of the 2027 strategic plan. The donation will be given in increments: $125,000 a year for the next three years. This project will be fully funded through fundraisers, with ASUP being the first to donate. “It’s always been in the back of the ASUP president’s mind to use this quasi endowment for a student center,” ASUP President, Emma Fuller said. “But we’ve never had a strategic plan that had it in there — and we’ve never had a president that actually wanted to pursue it.”
