Sharing Interests, Connection, and Community: Launching Student Clubs at Pacifica

The Student Services Team is delighted to announce the launch of Student Clubs at Pacifica. This new initiative stemmed from student feedback from our annual student survey, as well as narrative feedback from other sources such as meetings, orientations, etc. Recent student survey findings show that the top ranked item when asked what would help students find work in their chosen field was “increased opportunities for networking with faculty, alums, and students across programs.” We hope that this new initiative promotes connection between students across programs based on shared identities, interests, and passions.
