Inside the University of Puget Sound’s Ann Wilson On-site Teaching Clinic, patients work side by side with doctoral students who are learning to master their knowledge and skills of the profession while offering care to the community. Here, movement is restored step by step — through careful manipulation on mat treatment tables and with the help of parallel bars and exercise machines. For many patients, the clinic is more than a teaching space; it is a lifeline.
The University of Puget Sound is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduates, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company featured Puget Sound in the 2026 edition of its annual college guide, The Best 391 Colleges.
The photography of Doug Landreth ’73 may include all manner of flora and fauna, but he is more than a nature photographer. Whether photographing the blossom on an artichoke plant or a blurred image of a Mexican matador, he employs multiple digitally composited images, laced with textural overlays and backgrounds, to create visual statements that can be bold, foreboding, or sublime.
Landreth’s love of photography started in high school, when he bought a camera with his savings and took it on a two-week trip to Europe with his twin brother, Duncan Landreth ’74.
As a Fulbright scholar at Western Sydney University, Kyra Lee ’24 spends her days developing brain-inspired technologies that could one day reshape healthcare and robotics.
At the university’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, Lee is part of a research team designing neuromorphic systems — computing technologies modeled after the human brain. These bio-inspired tools could improve machine learning, enhance robotic responsiveness, and expand how artificial intelligence supports patient care.
A high school friend working at a Spokane coffee shop in 1982 guided Jennifer Al-Abboud ’86 to the world of gelato. Now, the Logger and her husband, Fareed, use the dessert to make a living while fostering community connections.
“It’s a happy product,” says Al-Abboud. “People come into our shop happy and leave happier. If they don’t come in happy, they leave happy.”

When there’s an adorable kitten or puppy gamboling across your kitchen, you can be forgiven if you’re not thinking about its future demise.
“But unless you’re 80 and adopt a parrot, you’re going to outlive them,” said Mollyrose Dumm ’07, of Urban Animal, which is based in Seattle and is the country’s largest veterinary worker cooperative.
A new research project is uncovering the overlooked role of progressive congregations in the 1970s as sanctuaries for early LGBTQ+ activism. “The Architecture of Pride,” led by Heather White, visiting professor of gender and queer studies, explores how faith communities — mostly from mainline Protestantism — provided safe spaces for organizing in the years just before and following the 1969 Stonewall riots — a moment often considered the symbolic birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
Logger Wellbeing Week returns to the University of Puget Sound Sept. 29–Oct. 3, featuring events centered on a core idea: that health is a community endeavor, not just an individual pursuit.
“What I'm really hoping is that students who participate in this week start to understand that our wellbeing is part of our environment, our community, and within a larger system that we all are part of, and that it's something that we create collectively as a community,” said Danielle Bus, Puget Sound’s wellness education and prevention specialist.
