 A memorial for Bill will take place on February 22, 2026, at 2:00 pm in the Wheelock Center Rotunda.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the William Breitenbach Endowed Fund in History.  This fund will provide a monetary award to accompany the writing prize in his name, support a lecture series, and further enrich the lives of history faculty and students as well as the wider Puget Sound community.

The Mortar Board Last Lecture Series chooses a retiring faculty member to give a talk on a topic of their choice. Dr. Lisa Nunn will be retiring this spring after a career teaching in the Economics department, from which she earned her bachelor's degree.

Remember your grade school delight making Valentine cards? This is your chance to relive those joys! All tools will be provided; just bring your enthusiasm, your artistry, or your inner Cupid.
