The latest iteration of the university’s strategic plan, “Our Pacific: A University for Opportunity,” is now available for faculty and staff review. The current version adds key goals and tactics to the established themes and objectives. Feedback from this version, along with recommendations from our seven reorganization committees, will be incorporated over the coming weeks before the plan is shared with the Board of Trustees in December.

This Saturday, November 1, federal food assistance programs including SNAP and WIC will lose funding due to the ongoing government shutdown. Nearly 42 million Americans – including many in our Pacific family – will lose access to these critical benefits. Our campus food pantries – the Boxer Food Share in Forest Grove and the Hillsboro Campus Food Pantry – are ramping up efforts to help fill the gap for our students as federal benefits disappear.
