American Moonshine

Emelie Peine, distinguished professor and director of international political economy, was quoted in an article in American Archaeology Magazine about the study of moonshining sites throughout the American South. Liquor production has deep roots in American history with cultural and economic significance.

"Whiskey acts as a stable store of value," Peine said. It was often made from inexpensive or freely foraged materials and could be stored for long periods of time.

Take a Chance and Give a Chance

The Puget Sound Business Journal recently published a profile of Trustee Emerita Deanna Oppenheimer '80, P'11, P'14. Oppenheimer, who is receiving the PSBJ's 2026 Director of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award, reflected on her career and the importance of mentorship.

"I’ve always talked about ‘take a chance and give a chance,’” Oppenheimer said. “Early in your career you take a chance, you step up, you raise your head above the parapet. But later in life — now where I am — you give a chance.”
