🇺🇸✨ Happy Fourth of July weekend from the Graduate Admissions Office at Pacific!

Nothing says a holiday weekend like a PNW summer! 📸 Captured by one of our Boxers, this photo is a perfect reminder of what makes summers in the Pacific Northwest so special—warm evenings by the water, late-night swims, and golden sunsets. ☀️💦🌲

We hope you’re enjoying a weekend filled with sunshine, good food, and time with the people who matter most. Whether you’re celebrating with family, exploring the Pacific Northwest, or taking a well-deserved break, we hope your holiday is filled with joy.

As we celebrate Independence Day, we also recognize that our nation’s story continues to evolve. May this weekend be an opportunity to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy while remaining committed to building a more inclusive and equitable future for all. ❤️💙

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and happy Fourth of July!

Salt air, sunshine, and smiles. 🌊☀️

👓 Learning, laughter, and lots of practice.

Our optometry students spend countless hours building the clinical skills that will serve them throughout their careers. From mastering slit lamp techniques to developing confidence in patient care, every lab session is another step toward becoming a skilled clinician.

Because great learning happens when hard work and a little fun go hand in hand. ❤️🖤

💡🤝 Yesterday’s team retreat was all about innovation and connection.

We spent the morning exploring coding, AI, and emerging technologies—and how they can help create smarter, more student-centered admissions experiences. 🚀

Then we traded laptops for aprons in an afternoon cooking class 🍳👩‍🍳 focused on teamwork, creativity, and connection.
Grateful for a team that’s always learning, growing, and finding new ways to better serve our applicants.
