| Do the math. A Puget Sound team of three students recently competed in the International Mathematical Contest in Modeling against more than 1,500 student teams from around the globe. The Logger team, made up of Jordan Fonseca ’18, Jesse Jenks ’18, and Matthew Moreno ’17, placed among the world’s top 11 teams—that's in the 99th percentile of this pool of remarkable young mathematicians. Go Loggers!
Hello, evaluators! This week Puget Sound welcomes the Jane Atkinson, Lewis & Clark College, and Stephen Germic, Rocky Mountain College, peer evaluators visiting campus as part of our current accreditation evaluation.

A Day in the Life of Puget Sound is here! This Wednesday, April 19, help us capture 24 hours of Puget Sound for this summer's Arches magazine. Anyone with a camera can participate. We're looking for photos that tell a story, that make us laugh, that make us think... that show what a day in the life of Puget Sound is all about.
