Contact: NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tasha Triplett Joins ASPSU Leadership The Associated Students of Portland State University (ASPSU) is proud to announce the selection of Tasha Triplett as the new ASPSU Outreach and Fundraising Coordinator. As Outreach and Fundraising Coordinator, Triplett joins ASPSU President Jonathan Sanford and his cabinet, the ASPSU Executive Staff. The complete Executive Staff consists of ten members whose individual skills range from legislative affairs to equal rights advocacy. “Tasha brings a wealth of experience and will be a valuable addition to ASPSU and PSU overall,” said ASPSU President Jonathan Sanford. “She has a long history of activism and we are honored to have the opportunity to work with her.” Triplett attended high school in Tucson, Arizona where she became a tireless activist. Catalyzed by her friends’ experience with discrimination, Triplett co-founded a Gay Straight Alliance Chapter. According to Triplett, “The experience instilled in me the importance of standing up for civil rights as well as rooting in me a deep passion to advocate and organize for the equality of all.” Triplett’s passionate efforts at her high school were just the beginning as she soon became an active proponent for anti-war, anti-death penalty, pro-choice, and immigrant rights issues. A transfer student from New College of California, a small, liberal arts college in San Francisco, California, Triplett moved to PSU last spring and immediately found herself involved with the campus community. On why she chose PSU, Triplett said, “To build roots in a liberal, active community that prides itself on grassroots organizing.” Since spring, she has been involved with the Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights (SUPER), the International Student Organization (ISO), and the Women’s Resource Center. This year, Triplett is planning several events that will build community on campus and promote ASPSU’s role in championing students’ needs. She hopes to use her position as a platform to “build a stronger, more accessible campus community where students are valued and invested.” ABOUT ASPSU: The Associated Students of Portland State University is the student government on campus whose role is to represent and advocate for the over 27,000 students at PSU at the state, university, and individual level.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ASPSU Student Government Unveils New Logo In an effort to create a brand more in line with the mission and values of student government, the Associated Students of Portland State University (ASPSU) is proud to unveil its new logo this summer. The new logo embodies a new generation of developing professionals who, under Student Body President Jonathan Sanford's leadership, tirelessly work to engage and serve as advocates for the students at PSU. ASPSU teamed up with Christy Lee Zilka, a Graphic Design student and manager of the PSU Graphic Design Center, to design the logo. Such collaboration is an example of how ASPSU is working this year to utilize and give a voice to the underutilized student potential at the university. The logo itself is representative of both student government as an institution and the student experience at PSU. The logo features PSU’s colors, ASPSU’s name, a shield that contains four symbols, and four stars representing the four different branches of government in ASPSU. The two leaves below the shield represent PSU’s commitment to pioneering sustainability as it grows into one of the nation’s leading urban universities. The ASPSU administration anticipates that the new logo will help ASPSU stand out in the minds of students. As part of the re-branding process, ASPSU is currently developing its new publication template design as well as web design, which are set to be finalized during Fall term of this year. According to ASPSU President Jonathan Sanford, “The logo reinforces the new style, ideas, and outlook that ASPSU is holding this year that differentiates it from past years. ASPSU has done great things for PSU students but the best is yet to come.” The Associated Students of Portland State University is the student government on campus whose role is to represent and advocate for the over 27,000 students at PSU at the state, university, and individual level.
