Lunch with a Boxer: First Year Seminar (FYS)

Learn more about the different resources at Pacific University in sessions designed for admitted students, deposited students, families or guardians.  

We know this is the time to make your final commitment. So, what really makes Pacific stand out? Is coming to Pacific the best step?

Join different departments each week for a virtual Zoom lunch meeting at noon (West Coast Time/PDT). Our Boxer staff and faculty are happy to set aside their lunch hour to answer your questions. Various topics will be covered each week. Presenters will be sharing about the different resources that are available to students and how they can be utilized. Next steps on what to expect over the summer and the first semester as a Boxer will also be covered. Sessions will be recorded and posted onto our YouTube channel.
