All over the country, people dumped buckets of ice on their heads to raise awareness for the disease and simultaneously raised millions of dollars for research. There are so very many worthy causes out there, so many needs vying for all of our attention, and it’s a rare coup to stand out against the crowd as ALS did this year. At Pacific University, we have no such device. We hope that your own experience and memories of Pacific, coupled with stories of the people here today, will help you forge and strengthen connections with the university — and will inspire you to consider giving back to tomorrow’s students. This issue of Pacific magazine is our annual philanthropy edition. It celebrates the difference that you, as donors and friends, have made to the university. Financial support is, of course, of paramount importance. As many as 92 percent of today’s students — 99 percent of undergraduates — receive financial aid; the gifts you provide make a Pacific University education possible for countless students. These students are our pride and our joy. They go on to become doctors and artists, business leaders and community activists. They make our world better thanks to the education they receive and, hopefully, they in turn give back to a new generation.

  • Friends of Japan Tradition Meets Modernity— in This Report We Introduce the Life and Work of a Friend of Japan
    Friends of Japan Tradition Meets Modernity— In this report we introduce the life and work of a friend of Japan. the Japanese Way of Living and Working My first encounter with a Japanese approach to business was in 1995 in Silicon Valley, California. It was then that I was asked to help establish the American arm of one of the best- known Japanese electronics companies. Although my knowledge of Japanese culture was limited, I was determined to work for a Japanese company. I strongly felt that working for a Japanese company would allow me to immerse myself in a new challenge and learn a new way of thinking and doing. An enjoyable part of working for a Japanese multi-national is the way they take delight in making the customer happy. This isn’t just a company mantra; it is an important part of doing business. And, while speed is important, the Japanese cherish a deliberate way of working. Teamwork is also highly regarded, while the individual is allowed to feel that they can make a valued contribution. The Japanese also prioritize personnel development over creating products. When I think about it, of all the Japanese principles of business I’ve encountered, I mostly revere the following: contribution to society, fairness and honesty, cooperation and team spirit, untiring efforts for improvement, courtesy and humility, adaptability, and gratitude. These are the seven core values of Konosuke Matsushita, the Japanese industrialist who founded Panasonic in 1918, and this was the company I would later help establish in the United States. I truly believe these principles are also a core part of Japanese life.

Transmission rate increases of 26 percent to 44 percent would be passed directly to industrial and residential consumers. On May 23, the White House fiscal 2018 budget included a cryptic entry for the sale of the Bonneville Power Administration's transmission assets. The proposed revenues from the sale are only 80 percent of the value of the assets being sold. This raises the question of why these valuable assets should be sold at a discount — and who would get the benefit of the discounted price. If the sale goes through, it also will raise novel regulatory issues. In the most likely scenario, the proposed sale could increase transmission rates by 44 percent. In a less likely scenario, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission might be persuaded to reduce the assessed value of the transmission assets to the proposed sale price, since the Trump administration proposes to sell the transmission system at a loss.
