We are very proud of the group of Pacific staff, faculty, and students that make up the Outdoor Pursuits team and work year-round to make Outdoor Pursuits and all its offerings possible. Our team comes from a wide variety of places and diverse backgrounds, but all share the same passion for the outdoors. 

If you are interested in joining the team please fill out an application (pdf) and provide a cover letter.
