Before Comfort (Ricketts) Ackep ever reached Pacific, she made a harrowing escape in Nigeria. At Pacific and afterward, she has influenced people and changed lives.

Debbie (Kerlinger) O'Dea '06 found a home at Pacific — one so caring that she strives to create the same experience for other students.

Two Pacific alumni found each other — and a shared love of education — in Pacific's Master of Arts in Teaching Program.
