Announcements
Boxer Giving Day 2025 proved once again that when Boxers come together, amazing things happen! Over 36 hours, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends came together to show their Boxer Spirit, making 820 gifts and raising an incredible $263,386.37 to support scholarships, programs, and opportunities that help students thrive.
Together, we also raised an incredible $115,787.15 for the Boxer Spirit Fund, which provides essential support to students and helps offset tuition costs so our students can thrive at Pacific.
But that’s not all—we also unlocked an astounding $113,000 in challenge funds! Thanks to generous donors who stepped up with challenge gifts, every donation went even further.
From scholarships that make education more accessible to programs that enhance the student experience, these funds will make a real difference in the lives of Pacific students. Whether you gave, shared, or cheered us on, thank you for being part of this movement!
While Boxer Giving Day may be over (until next year), the impact of our community's generosity will be felt for years to come.
Join us on March 12 for a reception celebrating our current exhibition of the collection of local feminist activist Mary Whitmore. The exhibit includes protest memorabilia, photos, and rare publications from the 1970s to the present related to her lifetime of work for women's rights and gender equity.
Staff members, this is the time of year when you can self-nominate or nominate a colleague to serve on a university standing committee. Consider getting involved in Pacific’s shared governance as a staff representative on either the Diversity, Finance, or Honors & Awards Committees. These positions are for a three-year term starting in September. This is an opportunity to collaborate with employees from across the university and learn about other areas at the university.
The spring season opens with the production of the Alfred Hitchcock classic in March & concludes with the annual Choreographers Informal in May.
The Staff Senate Professional Development Committee is pleased to announce a Peace of Mind and End of Life Planning Workshop presented by The Heartwood Collective. This one-hour online interactive workshop supports employees by leading them through the practicalities of end-of-life preparation while also covering how to navigate these topics with parents and older loved ones. Advanced registration is required.
