Asian-American Pacific Islander Month

At Pacific University, everyone belongs. We celebrate our students for who they are and who they will become, recognizing the potential of every individual to pursue their purpose. In honor of Asian-American Pacific Islander Month, we are highlighting some poignant moments from Pacific’s history — from the Chinese origin of our unique mascot, Boxer, to the 60-plus-year tradition that is the annual Nā Haumāna O Hawai‘I Lū‘au and Hõ‘ike. The following are just a few of the Boxer students and alumni who are uplifting Asian American and Pacific Islander voices and communities.
