Please save the date for our annual commemoration of the incarceration of Japanese American Citizens following Executive Order 9066. This year we are pleased to welcome Author Kiku Hughes to campus to discuss her book Displacement - A graphic novel in which a teenager is pulled back through time to witness her grandmother's experiences in World War II Japanese internment camps.  She will be doing a book signing at the event.

The University of Puget Sound is happy to host the South Sound’s happiest holiday celebration in support of MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. Set against a backdrop of over 25 beautifully decorated trees, the whole family will enjoy a festive wonderland complete with kids’ activities, a gift shop and visits with Santa.

While the event is free to attend, we encourage guests to bring a donation of a new teddy bear, Play-Doh and/or Matchbox car to brighten the season for Mary Bridge Children’s patients.
