Join President Jenny Coyle for this year's State of the University for an employee-focused university update on Friday, Sept. 25, at 3 p.m. in McCready Hall or via Zoom. This year’s update will focus on Pacific’s strategic plan, along with updates on the planned merger with Willamette University. Following the presentation, employees are invited to stay for a reception featuring snacks, selfies with Boxer and opportunities to get some Pacific swag!

CPS will be issuing citations for non-permit compliance starting at the end of September, so please get your stickers renewed. CPS is currently giving warnings to students for overnight parking in G, D and P lots (staff side of P lot). After a couple of weeks of warnings, CPS will issue citations for violators.

We’re looking for employees to help us host an unforgettable Homecoming 2026, Oct. 16-18, for our Pacific community.

Please sign up to join the event staff; we need amazing people like you to make it possible.

The Finders Keepers Free Store is back! We are a student and faculty run “store” where everything is free and we stock clothing, school supplies, kitchen supplies, books, craft, dorm décor and more. You can find us in the Drake House garage and badge in with your ID card if the door is closed during open hours. We’ll start accepting donations again (and open to the general public) on Sept 9.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to come together as a community and prioritize mental health. At Pacific University, we believe in the power of connection and the importance of open conversations and belonging. This month, we encourage students, staff, and faculty to check in with themselves and each other, learn the warning signs, and understand the resources available both on and off campus. Remember, you don't have to be a mental health expert to make a difference; sometimes, the simple act of listening can be the most powerful tool.
