Pacific Board of Trustees Lauds Response to Challenges

To the Pacific University Family, 

As we approach the end of 2020 members of the Board of Trustees want to tell each and every one of you — students, faculty, staff, deans and directors, President Hallick and her leadership team — how deeply we appreciate your efforts and cooperation in this challenging year of COVID-19. 

We know of the stress and exhaustion that is felt by all of you. We know of the disappointments and hardships endured by many students and your families.

We also know of — and greatly appreciate — the support and caring you have had for one another — student to student, faculty to student, faculty to faculty, person to person, across each campus. 

We appreciate the wise guidance of university leaders, staff, and faculty as you managed the layers of complexities and shifting external environment of the pandemic. 

Now, as the year end approaches, the board reaffirms our confidence in Pacific University and its readiness for a future where students and faculty will thrive. 

We send our heartfelt wishes for a safe holiday season and for a New Year of promise and hope for 2021 and beyond.
