Books, dorm room, class schedule, and discount card?

To promote spending at local businesses, the University of Portland (UP) and the University Park Business District is launching “The Pilot Experience,” a discount card program given to all incoming students.

As Casey Parks reported in The Oregonian yesterday, “More than 40 businesses offer discounts on services, entertainment, and dining.”

If you’re not a UP student you can still take advantage of the discounts by purchasing the card for $10. Half of all the sales go to the UP alumni association.

The new program launches tomorrow night at 5 pm during the school’s annual Bites on the Bluff event at the Chiles Center Plaza, just in time for the season opener of the Portland Pilots, the UP women’s soccer team!
