Old College Hall Open House - Oct. 2026

Forest Grove
Old College Hall

Since 2005, undergraduate and graduate students alike have participated in Sign, Shake & Ring when they begin their journey as a Boxer. Upon graduating, the tradition is completed in reverse.

In remembrance of those who have come before, the Pacific University Alumni Association hosts a quarterly remembrance ceremony where each name of passed Pacific family members is read aloud, and the Old College Hall bell tolls one more time to bid them farewell.

There will be a special display on the history of Pacific University in honor of Homecoming Weekend for alumni and friends to visit. A member of the Friends of Historic Forest Grove will be present and able to guide visitors through the display and Old College Hall.

No registration is required for this open house.

Pacific University would like to thank the dedicated docents from the Friends of Historic Forest Grove for donating their time, energy, and knowledge to guiding tours at Old College Hall every month.
