Two Paws Up

Print & Copy Services (PCS) won a platinum award at the Association of College and University Printers (ACUP+) Production Awards at the organization's annual conference in early April. The award was in the Digital: Single Page - Small category for a desktop-sized standing Grizz figure.

Beyond the Classroom

The School for International Training (SIT) published an article on their website about the Pacific Rim Study Abroad Program's partnership with SIT. PacRim participants spent three weeks in India with SIT this semester, exploring the country’s cultural, religious, and historical landscapes through programming in Chennai, Varanasi, Agra, and Delhi. The experience combined formal coursework with experiential learning activities. 

An Investment in the Future

On April 12, Logger Athletics celebrated the facility upgrades, including a synthetic infield for the Logger Baseball Field and major upgrades to the Logger Softball Field. 

"Both Logger Baseball and Softball Field projects are a testament to what's possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose," said Athletic Director Chelsea Herman. "We are deeply grateful to every individual who brought this vision to life as these facilities are more than fields — they are spaces where leaders are developed, lifelong relationships are built, and champions are made." 

Brushstroke Bounty

Former Prof. Bill Colby’s paintings are among the Puget Sound Sumi Artists' works currently on exhibit at the Tacoma Public Library Main Branch’s Handforth Gallery. The show will have an opening gala on Saturday, April 25, from 3 to 5 p.m. and runs through the end of June. Colby taught art at Puget Sound from 1956 to his retirement in 1989. He died in 2019.

Swim Safety

Members of the Logger Swim Team recently volunteered with the No More Under program, providing free swim lessons to 60 underserved children in the Tacoma area. The program has been held at Puget Sound's Wallace Pool for the last two years thanks to two Logger alumni and former swim team members, Robert Moore '82 and Robert Jackson '82 (affectionately known as the Bobs), who have made it their mission to bring water safety education to local kids.
