Dear members of the University of Puget Sound campus community:
Recent national events in Orlando, Minneapolis, Baton Rouge and Dallas are weighing heavily on my mind this morning, and I know yours as well. These trying times underscore the importance of our work as teachers and mentors, as citizens, and as members of this special community.
Dear members of the campus community,
University of Puget Sound is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities on a seven-year cycle. As part of an effort to address how colleges can best provide evidence of assessment of student learning outcomes and mission fulfillment, we have been working as part of a collaborative “demonstration project” with Columbia Basin College, University of Montana, and University of Oregon. The demonstration project has allowed us to be candid about areas of strength and areas for continued work.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,
On the eve of the beginning of our spring semester, I write to you in celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and our ongoing commitment as a campus community to bringing about a more just and equitable world.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,
The board of trustees recently concluded our fall meetings on campus. We were pleased to have many opportunities to talk with students, faculty, and staff, and several of us were even brave enough to sit in on a few classes—a definite highlight of our time together.
Key issues under discussion at the fall meeting included the opportunity to:
In addition to our business meeting, it is customary for the trustees to participate in a workshop on a strategic area of importance for Puget Sound. This fall we sought to strengthen our understanding of the Puget Sound student experience to better inform decisions the board will make in the coming months, including the February 2017 approval of the university’s annual budget.
