Calling all Graduate & Professional Division staff & faculty: you're invited!

Check out the upcoming workshops, events, and trainings being offered by the Student Counseling Center in February!

Please join us in welcoming Molly Cooper, our new Assistant General Manager for Pacific Dining.

Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and perform countless other tasks at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 16. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked, but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

We’re excited to introduce Scott Holt, Pacific Dining’s new General Manager.

Please remember to register your Pacific University-affiliated social accounts if you have not done so already. Thank you to everyone who has registered their university-affiliated social media accounts so far, including those that registered in 2025! If you have not responded to the additional questions via email, please do so to help the university ensure legal compliance and to assess needs for training, support and infrastructure. All university-affiliated social media accounts — including platforms like TikTok — must be registered.

The 90-minute January 28 All-Staff Meeting resources are now available, including the agenda, PowerPoint slides, and recording.

We recognize that recent events locally and nationally, along with broader societal and global issues, may feel unsettling or overwhelming for some members of our community. During times of uncertainty, we want to remind employees that confidential support resources are available.
