Social Media Guru

If you follow the University of Puget Sound on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or LinkedIn, then you're familiar with the work of Social Media Manager & Designer Calvin Werts ’23 and his student staff. A proud Logger alumnus with a degree in business administration, Werts crafted social media campaigns for Olympic athletes, award-winning podcasts, and global corporations before joining the Marketing & Communications team.

During his time on campus, he was a varsity athlete and member of Puget Sound's Greek Life community. When he’s offline, Werts loves to participate in all sports involving a board while listening to America’s favorite boyband, Brockhampton.

Blockbuster Adaptations

First, musicals were adapted into feature films. Then, films were adapted into stage musicals. Now, musicals based on films, like the new Mean Girls, are getting the silver screen treatment. Professor Emeritus Geoffrey Block was recently quoted by The Washington Post about the history of musical adaptations in Hollywood. 

Too Pool for School

The Logger swimming team emerged victorious at a recent meet against cross-town rivals Pacific Lutheran University with several of the men and women notching first-place finishes in the 200-freestyle, 100-breaststroke, 200-individual medley, and others, combining for a dominant performance over the Lutes.
