Build EXITO at Portland State University
Build EXITO at Portland State University is a program designed to support undergraduate students who are interested in finding solutions to today's major health problems. EXITO students engage with biomedical research in fields and majors such as psychology, public health, biology, chemistry, social work, and many more.
Applicants don’t need to have prior research experience or think of themselves as a science person yet—just a passion and curiosity - and Build EXITO is there to prepare students for a future research career.
EXITO Scholars get to engage with some of the most innovative and well-known researchers in their fields. Program year one offers an overview of research through classes and enrichment sessions, and a variety of supportive services including tailored advising and mentoring. Successful application to the second phase of the program offers placement in research labs, scholarship opportunities, and continued program support.For more information contact exito@pdx.edu
