It’s November 2020. My depression and anxiety are at a new peak. The serotonin rush of Trump losing the presidential election has worn off and the reality that terrible things are still happening is re-settling in. Following months of isolation from my friends and loved ones, hundreds of thousands of deaths from COVID and a slight dependency on alcohol I was developing, you could say I was falling into a deep pit of doomerism.

The exhilarating rush of the foamy cascades of salt water create the perfect concoction of joy for surfers on the Oregon coast — even in the cold. Students at the University of Portland brave the harsh conditions of winter surfing to shred the gnar and chase that feeling.

I personally think that soccer is the best and most exciting sport. I remember one day specifically when my family and I were watching the Seattle Sounders play at what was formerly Qwest Field, now named Lumen Field. I remember standing for the entire 90 minutes cheering for the team I had looked up to my whole life.

It goes without saying that there’s a lot of trees on campus. But what’s more astonishing is the breathtaking variety of trees in such a reasonably small area. UP has everything from shrubs to gargantuan evergreens. Cataloging every type of tree on campus would be a massive undertaking even for a group of student environmental scientists, let alone a single student journalist. That being said, this article surveys only a fraction of the trees on campus. Here are some of the most distinctive trees you’ll find at UP.

It was a rainy afternoon downtown at the Portland Art Museum, the air filled with the smell of food trucks and the space alive with chatter. Bookworms from all walks of life gathered beneath a white tent to listen to authors talk about their latest works. Beyond the tent, Portlanders walked between neighboring venues and attended readings, discussions, workshops and exhibits.

If you listen closely outside of Walsh’s door in Corrado Hall you might be able to hear the strum of a guitar and a folk song being sung. A lover of the arts and nature, Walsh brings a new vision for Campus Ministry to UP as the new executive director of mission and ministry.
