UC Portman Center for Policy Solutions

The Portman Center mission is to encourage civility, bipartisanship and finding common ground to achieve policy solutions. This includes the promotion and development of future public servants from across the political spectrum who are committed to civility, open and inclusive dialogue, and bipartisan engagement. The Center aims to inspire students, faculty and community partners to grow as citizen-leaders who advance the public good, and through its mission, also intends to influence the national political climate at a time of growing partisanship and incivility.

The Portman Center supports integrated academic programming, a cohort of UC Portman Center Fellows, scholarships and internship placements, an annual seminar series, and civic leadership development for students.
