One of the best parts of being a Willamette student is calling Salem home, and summer might just be the most beautiful time of year to experience it. ☀️

With the first day of summer just around the corner, we're looking ahead to sunny skies, warm afternoons, and endless opportunities to explore. From peaceful walks through local parks and trails to afternoons spent along the riverfront, Salem offers plenty of ways to enjoy the season.

And when you're ready for an adventure, some of Oregon's most iconic destinations are just a short drive away. The Oregon Coast, waterfalls, and mountain trails are all within reach for a day trip.

Whether you're staying in Salem this summer or planning your future as a Bearcat, this is one of our favorite seasons to experience everything the Willamette Valley has to offer.

Looking back on the past school year and thinking about the Fall Kickoff!

The Willamette Events Board put together an unforgettable welcome to the semester, complete with inflatables, a rock climbing wall, mini golf, carnival games, and plenty of Bearcat fun.

And of course, a special shoutout to for keeping everyone cool with free shaved ice 🍧

What a fun way to kick off the school year, connect with friends and meet new ones, and start the semester off strong. We can't wait to do it all again this fall!

Study Abroad Spotlight: Emily Lindberg 🇮🇪

This semester, Emily Lindberg studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, immersing herself in Irish culture while exploring some of the country's most iconic destinations. Alongside students from Willamette University and the University of Portland, she traveled throughout Ireland, visiting Cork, Di**le, Dublin, Belfast, Derry, and Connemara.

When asked about her favorite memory, Emily didn't hesitate: a spontaneous weekend trip to Edinburgh, Scotland.

"Taking a Ryanair flight at 10 p.m. and spending the night in a 12-person hostel really made me feel like a world traveler!"

From new friendships and unforgettable adventures to experiences that broaden perspectives, study abroad is about so much more than the classroom. We're so glad Emily had the opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime!
