Each fall, the University of Puget Sound welcomes families, alumni, and friends back to campus for a weekend of connection, celebration, and community. Homecoming & Family Weekend offers Loggers across the generations the opportunity to experience campus life together while honoring the traditions and people that make Puget Sound what it is.
The University of Puget Sound celebrated a successful fiscal year 2024-25, announcing it raised $12.1 million in gifts and pledges from more than 3,700 donors. A key driver of this year's success was the Puget Sound Fund, which received an impressive $2.1 million.
The Puget Sound Fund provides vital and flexible support for the university’s most critical needs. It is a resource that touches every part of the university, from financial aid and faculty retention to capital improvements and co-curricular programs. The fund is highlighted each spring during Logger Day Challenge.

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.
