University of the Pacific values inclusiveness

The Pacific community believes that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to the fulfillment of our institutional mission. We value inclusiveness in learning, curricular and cocurricular programming, campus climate, 招聘, 招生, hiring and retention.

We resolve to foster a community that is open-minded, multifaceted and respectful of all persons.

宗教 and Spiritual Life

宗教 and Spiritual Life exists to provide a safe place for students and others to ask questions about meaning and purpose in life, often in relation to a supreme being, 世界, and others around you. We also hope to encourage all people, whether religious or spiritual, of faith or no faith, to think intelligently about religion and how it affects society, and to promote healthy dialogue between people of all religious positions.

Pacific Promise Scholars

The Pacific PROMISE Scholars program helps former foster care and homeless students see higher education as a path toward achieving their dreams. 自2012年以来, we have worked with students to develop a foundation for success in college through advocacy, assistance and 支持. Pacific believes it's important to help these students as they do not always have the 支持 needed to be successful in college.
