Last year, President Emeritus Stephen Sundborg, S.J., challenged us to get 10,000 alumni involved in the life of the university by connecting, volunteering and giving. Thanks to our Seattle University alumni community, together we exceeded the goal of Our Moment for Mission: The President’s Challenge with10,862 alumni stepping up to ensure that current and future students have the same purpose-driven, passion-fueled education and experiences that they did.

Alumni worldwide came together to make a difference for our students and university.

By connecting, volunteering and giving, alumni directly impacted the university community. Below are just a few examples.

• Shasti Conrad, ’07, conceived and co-founded Alumni and Students of Color (ASOC) to create a safe, welcoming space for BIPOC students and alumni to come together.

• Colina Bruce, ’07, ’15, used her candle business to raise funds for the new Black Student Union Scholarship.
