The department of philosophy at Portland State University is dedicated to bringing philosophy to the community. Your generosity helps create public spaces for ethical reflection and conversation and the development of reasoning and critical thinking skills for youth.
Your gift today supports the department of philosophy, including our "Socrates in the Schools" program and the Philosophy Summer Camp.
The summer camp is for rising high school juniors and seniors who will develop critical thinking and academic writing skills in a discussion based, interactive format. Students will work on a major project with a Portland State University faculty member and PSU undergraduate camp leaders.
High school students who successfully complete the camp will receive 4 credits for Introduction to Philosophy at PSU. All high school students will pay a significantly reduced tuition rate and be eligible for needs-based scholarships.
You can help us reach our goal by sharing the campaign on social media and with your networks. Thank you for your support!
