Pacific University

A beloved coach during his seven years at Pacific University, George Tall Chief MSEd '58 found his ultimate calling in a return to his native Oklahoma, where he became the elected chief of the Osage Nation.

We remember our Pacific University family members who have passed away. Read their stories and celebrate their lives at the next Alumni Remembrance Ceremony.

Pacific University's 16th president, who died in September 2024, left an indelible mark on the university not only in its programs and campuses but also in the Pacific community members whom "Dr. Phil" always made feel like treasured friends.
