As we celebrate Arab American Heritage Month, we want to encourage you to engage with weekly activities!

We’re launching a one month reusable coffee cup pilot program at Boxer Brew and the Hillsboro Market in partnership with GoSili. Enter for a chance to be one of 30 participants and help shape a more sustainable campus.

Planning a campus event? Please remember that all catering orders must be submitted through CaterTrax and meet the required advance notice timelines to ensure availability and quality service.

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.

Over 40 staff have signed up to work at the May 16 Commencement Ceremonies, but 10 more are needed. 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 on Saturday, May 16. Learn more and sign up today.

On May 1st at 7:30 pm on the stage of McCready Hall at the Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center at Pacific University, the Pacific University Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Dijana Ihas, will present an exciting program of works by Béla Bartók, Maurice Ravel, Joseph Haydn, and Franz Schubert.

The Staff Senate is sponsoring a hot breakfast along with donuts at the All-Staff Meeting on Wed, April 15. Join your colleagues and arrive any time after 8:30 a.m. for breakfast, coffee, and donuts. The meeting starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 10:30 a.m. The meeting will be held in person on the Hillsboro and Forest Grove campuses and on Zoom. Registration for breakfast is required.
