Azam Qayum Enterprise Investments

Azam Qayum has concentrated his work on securing new members for the PSU President’s Circle, an annual giving membership of neighborhood leaders who provide critical funding for among the most urgent wants of the University.

“PSU’s story is an easy one to pitch to native enterprise owners,” he said. “For years, employers have been going out of state and abroad for the talent they need right right here in the Portland area. I tell them that we need their investment in PSU to sustain the standard of education and create a sustainable employment base that meets the needs of our employers. PSU is rising by leaps and bounds – in truth, we’re bursting at the seams – but we need outside assist because the state of Oregon only funds about 16 percent of our annual budget.”

With that support, Qayum said he’s confident Portland State will turn out to be Oregon’s high college in both enrollment and quality.
