51�Թ�

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to come together as a community and prioritize mental health. At 51�Թ�, we believe in the power of connection and the importance of open conversations and belonging. This month, we encourage students, staff, and faculty to check in with themselves and each other, learn the warning signs, and understand the resources available both on and off campus. Remember, you don't have to be a mental health expert to make a difference; sometimes, the simple act of listening can be the most powerful tool.

Parking Lots M & L will be closed on Football game day, please be sure to move your vehicle.

The Boxer Journey Committee invites you to register for one or more topical focus group sessions below that are most applicable to the work you do. All focus groups will be held via Zoom, and you are welcome to participate even if you are only available for part of the scheduled time.

As 51�Թ� embarks on our strategic plan — and particularly on the structural reorganization taking place this year — you may be wondering how to communicate about specific programs. Marketing & Communications has prepared a guide to “Branding in Transition: Communicating Our Pacific” to walk through some of the common communication tools that may need review during this transition year.

Notable author Dr. Sarah Rose Cavanagh will visit Pacific's Forest Grove campus on Wednesday, September 17.

RSVP soon to secure your spot and receive location and/or Zoom details.
