2. Portland State Lands Record $5.9 Million NSF Grant to Turn Lab Discoveries (scienmag.com) — Portland State University just landed a record $5.9 million National Science Foundation grant to turn campus research into Portland companies, jobs and solutions.

3. Under-the-Bridge Departure Makes Waves in Portland (avbrief.com) — A low-flying floatplane's dramatic takeoff under Portland's Hawthorne Bridge has residents buzzing and prompted the FAA to say it will respond this week.

4. Portland State Vikings claim 2nd win at Homecoming, besting Utah Tech 30-14 (kptv.com) — Portland State football fans just saw the Vikings notch a convincing 30-14 Homecoming win over Utah Tech at Hillsboro Stadium, their second straight victory.
