The University of Puget Sound is hosting a business summit and panel discussion titled "Insights into the Changing Business Landscape of the Greater Seattle Area" on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. Puget Sound Business Insights will take place at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Renowned science fiction writer Ted Chiang, whose short story "Story of Your Life" inspired the critically acclaimed movie Arrival, will be delivering a thought-provoking lecture on the topic of “Artificial Intelligence, Artifice, and Art.” The event will take place on April 2, 2024, at 7 p.m. in the Tahoma Room of Thomas Hall.

You wouldn’t know it walking past the little yellow house on the east side of the University of Puget Sound’s campus, but inside, there’s a room full of nutritious food, fresh produce, toiletries, and hygiene products. All of it is free to take for students who might otherwise not have enough to eat.

When Logan Day ’15 first set foot at the University of Puget Sound with plans of playing baseball and becoming an English teacher, he had no idea he would find himself working for a renewable energy start-up company. After switching majors a few times, Day graduated with a double major in business and comparative sociology. Employment brought him to Portland, Oregon where he landed a job in the human resources department at Nike thanks to a connection from another Puget Sound alum.

Washington, DC: Today, the University of Puget Sound and ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge announced that President Isiaah Crawford will serve on their Presidents’ Council in 2024. Crawford will join a group of 13 college and university presidents charged with supporting senior leaders in higher education to foster nonpartisan democratic engagement on their campuses.

Florence Nightingale was the ultimate multi-hyphenate: a nursing pioneer, visionary statistician, social reformer, researcher, author, and adventurer, all at a time when women in Victorian England had few rights of their own.

As a high school senior, Galvin Guerrero ’96 couldn’t wait to escape the stifling familiarity of Saipan—an island within the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, roughly 450 miles north of Guam—for the relative obscurity of college. But come move-in day at Puget Sound, Guerrero found himself fighting back tears as he watched his mother disappear into a cab outside Anderson/Langdon Hall.

Five weeks before endurance cyclist Lael Wilcox ’08 began the Tour Divide—a 2,700-mile bicycle race crisscrossing the Continental Divide from Canada to New Mexico—she warmed up by riding nearly 4,000 miles from her Tucson, Ariz., home to the race start.

The 2023 Tour Divide, held last June, was her fifth, and she completed it in 16 days, 20 hours, 17 minutes. She won the women’s division and finished 13th overall.

When Shannon Hughes ’92 and Karen Moore Sales ’92 were students at Puget Sound in the late 1980s, they knew of each other, but they weren’t much more than acquaintances. They were both interested in business careers, but Hughes majored in business administration and Sales was in the Business Leadership Program. They both lived in Anderson/Langdon Hall, but Hughes was on the basement floor and Sales was on the second. They were both in sororities, but Hughes chose Pi Beta Phi while Sales opted for Alpha Phi. Today, each has only a vague memory of the other.
