University of the PACIFIC

Student Programming

The mission of the Chaplain's Office is to support the spiritual and religious lives of members of the Pacific community and to provide opportunities for students to explore and develop skills in engaging the variety of religious traditions.

Our vision is to have stronger cross-campus and community partnerships, to increase campus religious literacy, to conteribute positively to whole-student learning, and to contribute to intercultural development, ethical reasoning, and critical thinking.

• Pacific Mission  The University of the Pacific's mission is to provide a superior, student-centered learning environment integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities.
• Student Life Mission  Student Life at Pacific provides exceptional service and support to our students.  Through innovative thinking and dynamic programs, each Student Life member focuses on all aspects of a student's personal growth and educational experience.  We commit to developing a campus culture that values diversity, integrity, collaboration, leadership, respect, and the connection of individuals to the community.  These values transcend our individual roles and departmental functions and unify us as a division.
• Diversity & Inclusion  The University of the Pacific community- including students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni- believes that diversity and inclusion are essential to the fulfillment of our institutional mission.  We value inclusiveness in learning, curricular and co-curricular programming, campus climate, recruitment, admissions, hiring, and retention.  We remain deeply committed to promoting and maintaining a civil community that facilitates opportunities for shared understanding and expression of individual and collective truths.  Moreover, we resolve to maintain a community that is respectful of all persons despite differences in age, ancestry, citizenship, disability, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, geographic origin, language, marital status, military service status, nationality, philosophical beliefs, political persuasion, race, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. We are committed to all members of the Pacific community becoming competent and ethical citizen leaders able to interact effectively and ethically in an increasingly multicultural society and global economy.  this transformative process is accomplished through our distinctive integration of liberal arts and professional education promoting innovation, open discourse and dialogue, leadership development, experiential learning, and self-reflection.
