We are announcing a significant change regarding the compensation structure for individuals who currently serve the company in a dual capacity: as both employee and independent contractor for specific, additional projects.

Effective July 1, 2025, all work performed for Pacific University by an individual who is also a W-2 employee will be compensated solely through the payroll system as employee wages.

Apply by February 1st of your sophomore year to earn your teaching license while you finish your bachelor's degree!

Although MLK Day is a Pacific University holiday, we encourage you to think of this National Day of Service as a "a day on, not a day off'. A wide variety of events and gatherings will happen in the Portland Metro area - find one that resonates with you in our campus guide. Then, plan to join us in the University Center for a day-after gathering on Tuesday, January 20th. Drop-in any time between 11:30am-2:00pm for food, drinks, recitation, reflection, and action!

These trainings are mandatory for supervisors who handle employee onboarding and I-9 verifications in your department. You will only need to sign up for one training. If you have attended an I-9 training in person or via zoom, you do not need to sign up for the January training.

As we settle back in after the holidays, it's a great time to set intentions and goals for the year ahead. Essentials by TIAA is helping participants start the year strong with suggestions for a personalized financial check-in.
