If you’re looking for a college experience that’s
first-class but a off the beaten path of state and Ivy League schools, then
Paul Brenneke, a graduate of the University of Portland, is happy to recommend his
alma mater.
The University of Portland was founded in 1901 as a small
private Roman Catholic university. Today it’s grown to a size of roughly 3,600
students. The university is currently ranked #6 in the west for Regional
Universities, according to U.S. News and
World Report, the forerunning publication in college and university
rankings.
After attending a private prep school in Portland, Paul
Brenneke (class of ’84) knew of no better place to continue his
education than at the University of Portland. He earned his Bachelor of Arts
degree in business and founded his own finance, real estate, and banking
company that same year.
Today, Paul Brenneke is the successful CEO and founder of
Guardian, a Boutique Investment Banking Firm, which serves the diverse real
estate investment needs of individuals, financial institutions, and special
asset managers. If you are a high school student in the Portland, Oregon area
that is interested in business, then Paul Brenneke would urge you to consider
the University of Portland. Here are a couple of reasons why…
· Many
students of the University of Portland choose to remain in Portland after they graduate. In fact, the university
boasts that more than 13,000 alumni live in the Portland area, a staggering
figure considering that the current student body is a modest 3,537 (including
undergraduate and graduate students).
· Additionally,
the University of Portland is the largest corporation in North Portland.
Students who are interested in business, education, or nursing have plenty of
resources available to them considering the economic impact that the school has
on the region.
The University of Portland may not be for everyone, but Paul
Brenneke hopes you’ll at least consider his alma mater!
