Pacific Magazine is the university's award-winning annual publication. Highlighting student initiatives and exploring faculty projects, new offerings and future plans, the magazine brings alumni, parents, donors and friends into the university's story.
The Office of Strategic Communications writes, designs and publishes the magazine in coordination with the university's nine schools across its three campuses and many university departments.
The numbers tell a remarkable story: Pacific just completed its strongest five-year period in the university's 174-year history. But the real story lives beyond the statistics. It emerges in students discovering their passions and converting them into careers, in alumni supporting the next generation of Tigers and in faculty and staff who champion student success—even as higher education faces unprecedented headwinds.
