University Advancement

Welcome to the Office of University Advancement at Pacific University.

At Pacific, we embrace a diverse community of students in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs. Our community, though, extends beyond our students to include the thousands of alumni, donors and friends who also are members of the Boxer Nation. 

In University Advancement, our job is to support and advance the university by serving you.

We build relationships with more than 30,000 alumni worldwide, enlist financial support for our students, programs and facilities, host academic and community events on our campuses, and keep you up to date with the latest university news.

You are critical in our mission of inspiring students to think, care, create, and pursue justice in our world — whether you are mentoring a student, funding a scholarship, or sharing your experiences at Pacific University with others.

We invite you to explore our opportunities to engage all alumni, donors and friends in the life of the university and please let us know how we can help you become a closer member of the diverse and welcoming community that is Pacific University.
