Friends - we are so sorry about the abundance of fraudulent t-shirt post lately!

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to let us know this is happening. We have been trying to monitor and remove, but sometimes they act really fast. We just deleted six of them that were posted in the last few hours.

We have also changed our settings, which hopefully will block the spammers from tagging people, but if you do get tagged, let us know right away, and we will block and delete.

In the meantime, please enjoy these beautiful fall trees at Vandervelden Court. 😍

This week we celebrate and welcome the newest members of the Pacific University Alumni Association — the Class of 2026! 🎓❤️

From Senior Salute to graduate program celebrations, it has been an honor to celebrate this incredible milestone with you. We loved connecting with graduates as they picked up their Alumni pint glasses and prepared for commencement weekend.

As you cross the stage and begin your next chapter, know that you will always be part of the Boxer family. We are proud of all you have accomplished and excited to cheer you on in all that comes next.

And now we want to hear from our alumni community ♥️🖤

What would you raise your Pacific University pint glass to today? A favorite college memory? A mentor? A lifelong friendship? A career milestone? Share your “cheers to…” in the comments and help us welcome the Class of 2026 to the alumni family!

We are SO close, Boxers!

We’ve already seen 342 donors step up, which means we only need 158 more gifts to hit our goal!
When we reach 500, we unlock a massive $25,000 challenge gift for the Boxer Spirit Fund. Whether it’s $5 or $50, your gift right now is the one that tips the scales for our students.
Let’s Go Big!

Spotlighting Boxer alumni making a difference!

Rochelle Vidinha ’89 turned curiosity into a calling at Pacific — discovering psychology and social work and building a nearly 40-year career serving communities in Hawaiʻi.
We love seeing where a Pacific education can lead. 🥰

A lifelong desire to uplift those around her led Rochelle Vidinha '89 to a career of helping others through Hawai'i's criminal justice system.
