The Portland Spectrum serves the student body by facilitating thought–provoking discussions. We are dedicated to upholding a diverse forum of debate; we seek to establish voices for those in the student community who are otherwise unheard, and create an alternative avenue to publish new angles in current political or PSU community-related conversations, for the purpose of testing institutions already in place and expanding the minds of our campus.
Publication began in May 2014. See the Portland Spectator for past issues.
