Take a creative break and join our Makerspace for a fun and easy craft: Shaving Cream Marbled Paper!

Our Campus Members had the opportunity to visit our Book Arts Studio for an Open House during their lunch hour yesterday and got to print and take home a small keepsake designed by one of our very own students! For those of you not on campus, you can enjoy amazing content from the Makerspace right from home and benefit from this great Puget Sound resource!

Another Challenge knocked out of the park, Loggers! Our 1,250th donor was anonymous so we'll connect with them offline. Thank you ALL for continuing to take Logger Day Challenge TO THE HEIGHTS!!

Wow 1,200 donors and almost $350,000 raised?! Loggers, you are killing it! What a day of pride, community, and philanthropy! Keep up the momentum and take us to the Heights! The 1,250th donor will receive Puget Sound swag to showcase their Logger pride every day of the year!

A cohort of Greek Alumni are matching gifts to the Puget Sound Fund, dollar-for-dollar, up to $27,000 from all of their fellow Greek Alumni. Make sure your house is represented!

*Make sure to select "Greek Alumni" as well as "Alumni" when you make your gift!

What a start to the day! Can all of our Loggers on their Lunch Hour rally to hit 650 donors by 1pm PST?!?! If 140 Loggers have water with lunch and donate the $4 cost of a drink, we'll hit 650 donors and raise $560 for Puget Sound and with today's $100,000 Match, that goes twice as far!  If everyone jumped to $10, $1,400 would turn in to $2,800! That's pretty impressive over a lunch hour!

Enjoy the School of Music’s Fall 2021 Collage with a LIVE Premier and Q&A at NOON PST!

thank you-here’s to a great, if slightly bumpy start- and we're still watching for our 400th donor who will win some Puget Sound swag! Loggers are resilient!

LOGGER DAY CHALLENGE is a day of pride and philanthropy. It is an opportunity to come together to support each other, our community, and the university we love. To be a Logger is to be part of a community that is resilient, innovative, passionate, and above all, caring. Join us to celebrate what it is to be a Logger, the individuals who make-up Logger Nation, and all things Puget Sound. Once A Logger, Always A Logger!

Questions about the School of Music and our amazing performers? Curious about our Makerspace where students can get help and resources for creative projects?
