About the Portman Center for Policy Solutions

The Portman Center for Policy Solutions was established by the University of Cincinnati in February 2023 with a mission to encourage civility, bipartisanship and finding common ground to achieve policy solutions. The mission 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 is housed within the School of Public and International Affairs and the College of Arts and Sciences.
