Walter H. Kramer Fellowship
Transportation research and education has had a long, rich history at Portland State University. In 1966, Dr. Walter H.
Kramer founded the first transportation studies center in the Department of Marketing (now School of
Business Administration). Focusing on transportation research and education, Dr. Kramer believed
that “the actions of an individual, of a college, can determine the future of our cities, our society,”and devoted himself toward bringing “the resources of the faculty to bear on the problems of the
community.”
Since Dr. Kramer’s retirement in 1987, transportation research and education has grown and students in many graduate degree programs are engaged in multi-disciplinary, multi-modal research projects
that are helping to “determine the future of our cities, our society” and assisting in developing new solutions to “the problems of
the community.”
Beginning with a donation by Dr. Kramer’s daughter and husband, Mary Jo and Chris Chapman, the Walter H. Kramer Endowed
Transportation Fellowship has been established. The fellowship is aimed at providing financial support to PSU graduate students
enrolled in transportation-related graduate programs and working on multi-disciplinary, multi-modal research connected with
making a difference in “our cities, our society,” and “the community.” If you would like to contribute to the Walter H. Kramer
Endowed Transportation Fellowship, please contact OTREC at 503-725-4249 or otrec@pdx.edu. |
