University EmblemsThe University’s dedication to Holy Cross values and our educational mission is woven into the very fabric and foundations of campus life at the University of Portland. The Cross and Anchor symbols ornamenting door frames and engraved in the cornerstones of residential and classroom buildings alike memorialize this dedication, while the sculptures that adorn our campus remind us to slow down and reflect. The symbols and art that make up this exhibit represent UP’s desire to bring our community together around shared values. We hope the photos inspire you to seek out and enjoy these objects on our beautiful campus.

Liberated Archives: Memory Work Partnership with Don't Shoot PDXWhat is UP's role today when it comes to realizing racial and economic justice in North Portland? Visit the Dr. James T. Covert Gallery on the main floor of the library for an exhibit that hopes to spark consideration about these important questions. The exhibit is a collaboration by students and faculty in UP's Social Justice Capstone course, Public Research Fellows, and local community organization Don't Shoot Portland, with additional support from UP Ethnic Studies. It highlights themes of systemic oppression, displacement, and collective resistance in Portland, with an emphasis on the lived experiences of minoritized communities on UP's campus and North Portland. Can't make it to the library? Check out the online exhibit!

Clark Library is pleased to announce the soft launch of a new platform for the Library’s digital collections and institutional repository (Pilot Scholars). The new URLs are:

What’s different?
The new platform provides a better user experience. Among the changes are a modern and responsive interface, easier browsing, full-text searching, and better in-platform viewing.
What’s staying the same?
We are committed to providing access to UP’s historical records and scholarly works for teaching, learning, and research. All previous digital collections and institutional repository works will be available on the new platform. The data migration is in process and will be completed by the early half of Fall semester. Currently available digital collections include The Log yearbooks, Student Newspapers, and University History. Graduate Theses and Dissertations are available in Pilot Scholars.
