Former Gov. Ted Kulongoski to Join PSU's Mark O. Hatfield School of Government NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (#12-028) By: Suzanne Pardington (503-725-8794, [email protected]) University Communications Source: Ronald Tammen (503-725-8443, [email protected]) Professor of Political Science, Director of the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government Former Gov. Ted Kulongoski to join PSU's Mark O. Hatfield School of Government (Portland, Ore.) March 27, 2012 — Former Gov. Ted Kulongoski will join the faculty of Portland State University this spring as a Distinguished Fellow of Policy and Politics at the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government. Kulongoski, who served two terms as Oregon's governor, will continue his 40-year career in public service by teaching political science courses and assisting PSU's Center for Public Service and international programs in Asia. His classes will focus on the interplay of policy, politics and government. "I am pleased to welcome Gov. Kulongoski to Portland State," said Wim Wiewel, PSU president. "He will continue in the tradition of the late Sen. Hatfield by helping to educate a new generation of citizens and leaders for Oregon. Maybe someday a future governor will be sitting in one of his classes." “It is an honor to teach at Portland State University,” Kulongoski said. “The urban campus of PSU is a vital piece of our higher education system, with the most diverse student body. It is a wonderful opportunity to share what I have learned, after 40 years of public service, about politics, policy and governance in Oregon." This spring, Kulongoski will co-teach a course, lecture as a guest in other classes and develop his own course for fall term. He shares Hatfield's bipartisan approach to politics and hopes to pass on those values to his students. Kulongoski will be the second Oregon governor to be affiliated with the Hatfield School after leaving office. For many years Gov. Barbara Roberts served in PSU’s Executive Leadership Institute, now known as the Center for Public Service, headed by former Secretary of State Phil Keisling. "This is a boon for Oregon students who want to learn the real story about politics, not the one they see on TV every night," said Ronald Tammen, director of the Hatfield School of Government. "Gov. Kulongoski will draw on his experience as governor, state legislator, state attorney general and state supreme court justice to give students an invaluable classroom experience." Kulongoski was raised in a Catholic boys' home, served in the U.S. Marine Corps in Southeast Asia and worked as a bricklayer and truck driver before the GI Bill gave him the chance go to college, earning a bachelor's degree and law degree from the University of Missouri. Since he began his political career in 1974, he has served as a state representative, senator, insurance commissioner, attorney general and associate justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. He was elected to two terms as Oregon governor from 2003-2010. He lives in Portland with his wife, Mary Oberst. About Portland State University (PSU) Located in Portland, Oregon, PSU has about 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students. PSU’s motto is “Let Knowledge Serve the City,” and it provides every student with opportunities to work with businesses, schools and organizations on real-world projects.

  • Governor Kitzhaber's Inaugural Remarks
    oregon.gov http://www.oregon.gov/gov/media_room/pages/speechess2011/0110_inaugural_remarks.aspx Governor Kitzhaber's Inaugural Remarks So I guess none of you could get tickets to the game either. Before I begin I would like to pause to offer my heartfelt thanks, my own and on behalf of Oregon to Governor Ted Kulongoski. I don't believe that another person in the history of this state who found more ways to express his love for and commitment to Oregon and its people: Marine, Legislator, Insurance Commissioner, Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice and Governor. But these official positions only scratch the surface of his good works and those good works have made a great difference. Throughout his lifetime of service he has never for a moment forgotten his roots; lost his empathy for those who struggle or failed to preserve. Today may mark the end of his term as Governor, but if anyone thinks this is the end of his working for a better Oregon, well, they don't know Ted Kulongoski. He has governed well during very difficult times, marked by war as well as the recession. I am proud to have served with him. We are gathered here today at a sobering and humbling moment in Oregon's history: sobering because of the task before us; humbling because our fellow citizens have chosen us to find a way forward, and to forge a better future for our state and for our people. We face high unemployment; a divided state; and a projected budget deficit of $3.5 billion - about 20% of our General Fund.

The grants are funded by the Governor’s Fund for the Environment, which is supported by pollution penalties. Since its inception in 2005, polluters have been ordered to pay more than $4.5 million to the fund. The news media are invited to attend the ceremony at 10:00 AM in the Governor’s Ceremonial Room at the Oregon State Capitol, 900 Court Street NE, Salem, Oregon. “Since 2005, these funds have allowed projects that restore habitats, improve water quality, and enhance wildlife and watershed functions to move forward delivering a benefit of a cleaner environment for all Oregonians,” said Governor Kulongoski. “This year we are able to broaden the grants beyond the Willamette Basin, truly helping communities across the state improve their communities so that future generations of Oregonians can experience the Oregon we are proud to call home.” Governor Kulongoski and the United States Attorney’s Office created the fund with the goal of establishing a sustainable revenue source that is dedicated to local environmental clean up and restoration efforts focused on preserving and protecting Oregon’s rivers, watersheds and fish and wildlife.
