Paragraphs

The Student Multicultural Center is a vibrant hub that welcomes and serves all members of our community including Pacific University students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, community members and other campus visitors. The culmination of advocacy by students, both current and alumni, to establish a location of equitability and inclusion for all students who call Pacific home, the SMC provides our visitors with a source of educational opportunities and a place to be in community.

Upcoming Events

to
Forest Grove, Washburne University Center

Although Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 19) is a Pacific University holiday, we encourage you to think of it as a "a day on, not a day off'. This National Day of Service was established over 30 years ago to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King, and to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. A wide variety of events and gatherings will happen in the Portland Metro area for MLK Day - find one that resonates with you in our campus guide. Then, plan to join us in the University Center for a day-after gathering on Tuesday, January 20th!
