Details and registration will be available in May, but for now, please mark your calendar to join the day's festivities.

A few more staff are needed to ensure that the May 16 Commencement Ceremonies are a success! Consider joining the event staff team to celebrate our graduates by greeting guests, assisting with student line-up, driving golf carts, and performing countless other tasks at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies. Learn more and sign up today.

Give & Go is Pacific's annual end-of-year donation event. If you have clothing, dorm decor, toiletries, electronics, books, etc that you no longer need - don't throw them away, donate them! Donations will be accepted at stations across campus during the undergraduate exam period (May 9-13) and on Commencement Sunday (May 17). Find locations, hours, and accepted items (spoiler alert: it's almost everything!) here.

We recognize that our staff community is navigating a time of significant transition at the university. We want every employee interested in joining the Staff Senate to be able to run for office while knowing that some of our colleagues need time and space right now to focus on next steps. For that reason, we are extending our timeline for Staff Senate elections until Friday, April 17. If you are interested in serving on the Staff Senate, please nominate yourself or a peer.
