Starting Fall 2025, °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ’s MBA program is STEM-designated, integrating advanced coursework in analytics, technology, and AI. This distinction enhances career opportunities, particularly for international students, who can now benefit from an extended 36-month OPT period in the U.S.
Do you know someone who is passionate about the Pacific community and enjoys connecting with others? Nominate a colleague or yourself to be a part of the °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Staff Senate. There are eight openings for the 2025-27 Staff Senate term. Staff Senators have a front-row seat to learn and engage in larger decisions made at the university. Nominations are being accepted through March 14.
°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ is exploring opportunities for faculty and staff to connect in a casual, supportive space. These gatherings are not professional development but an opportunity for solidarity and camaraderie.
Gear up for a great March with OP! Whether you’re looking to enjoy the last of the snow, challenge yourself with indoor climbing, or explore the trails on a hike, we’ve got something for you. Check out what’s coming up!
