The College of Health Professions awarded graduate and professional degrees to 162 new alumni on Aug. 10, 2013. On the sunny Saturday morning, students earned their degrees in dental hygiene, healthcare administration, physician assistant studies and professional psychology.

editor’sletter October has always been my favorite month. Growing up here in Oregon, I insisted that there was an aroma to the month. The combination of burn piles and chimney smoke, overripe berries and decaying leaves created a sweet and pungent smell that meant fall was truly here. It’s time to trade in sandals for boots, T-shirts for sweaters. It’s time to take a moment to relax between the endless activity of summer and the bustle of the holiday season.

In an educational environment, fall also takes on special meaning as the beginning of something new. At home, I’ve loaded up on back-to-school gear and sent my son off to his first day of “big boy preschool.” At Pacific, we’ve welcomed new students and observed the rituals of Orientation, Convocation and Sign, Shake & Ring. We’ve braved the rain to cheer on the football team, and we’ve celebrated Homecoming and Family Weekend.

This fall, at Pacific magazine, we’re celebrating something else, too. This marks the first issue in our transition to three issues a year. It’s incredibly exciting, in an age where conventional wisdom says print is dying, to be able to expand our magazine production and bring you more stories from Pacific University. This issue recognizes the role of philanthropy and giving in the success of Pacific, and it thanks you — our alumni, friends and donors — for making the mission of this place possible. Our spring issue, in late February, and our summer issue, at FEB the end of June, will bring you more stories about Pacific University — about the growth on our campuses, the inspiration of our students, 21 Spirit Night and the successes of our alumni around .

eeww Residence Hall By Jenni Luckett R eYNOlds Field has been the site of countless memories for Pacific University students through the ages — and it’s about to become the home of even more. flol ow | Keep on top of the construction process.pacificu.edu/newresidencehall

On Oct. 10, Pacific University ceremonially broke groundon its newest residence hall, a 200-bed sustainable living community that will expand the residential options for Pacific’s growing student population. Pacific currently serves more than 3,600 students, nearly half of them undergraduates and most of those in Forest Grove. The university expects that number to grow to 2,000 undergraduates and 2,000 graduates by 2020. Braving a light October drizzle, nearly 100 faculty, staff, alumni and friends gathered during Homecoming to celebrate the groundbreaking. After a brief round of remarks about the new building and the partnerships making it possible, Pacific University Board of Trustees Chair Mindy Cameron climbed aboard a trackhoe to scoop the first loads of dirt from the old athletic field. The new hall is going up on what was once Reynolds Field, and before that McCready Field, one of the original athletic facilities at Pacific. The field hosted its first varsity match — a football game, which Pacific won — in 1892. It was home to football, soccer, baseball, and even track and field, competitions over the years. In 1991, when Pacific’s football program was discontinued, McCready Field became primarily a soccer venue, and in 1993, it was renamed Tom Reynolds Field in memory of the Hall of Fame soccer coach who had recently passed away. In 2007, though, when Pacific opened Lincoln Park , varsity sports moved to the new turf field, and when football was reinstated in 2010, it joined them. Reynolds Field went largely unused. The new 60,000-square-foot, four-story residence hall will benefit from close proximity to the University Center and other residences on campus. It will feature single- and double-occupancy rooms, as well as small suites and flexible spaces for indoor and outdoor events. There will be shared kitchens, study spaces and lounge areas to help students build community, as well as outdoor patios, an indoor/outdoor fireplace, bike parking and environmentally friendly gardens to capture and reuse stormwater runoff. Planned to open in time for the 2014 Fall Semester, the new hall will be the third built at Pacific since 2006. 6

An optometrist by trade, Abbott also was a rancher, a politician and served as ambassador to the Kingdom of Lesotho under President Ronald Reagan’s administration.

In 2007, he received the Pacific University Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award. Abbott spent his early years on a tenant dairy farm in Minnesota before moving with his family to El Paso, Texas, where he graduated from high school. He attended what is now the University of Texas at El Paso but left to join the Army during World War II. Following the war, he earned his bachelor and doctorate degrees at Pacific University. He returned to El Paso, where he was one of the first in the region to fit corneal contact lenses. His optometric practice became one of the largest in the city. In the late 1960s, he started an optical company that later became Sunland Optical, then the largest military optical contractor in the country. He also developed apartment housing and operated farms in New Mexico, Texas and California, as well as one in South Africa with his grandson, Jason. He also was director of several local banks. In the mid-1970s, he was appointed regional director of the Bi-Centennial Administration. He co-founded the Granaderos de Galvez, which honored the Spanish influence on the development of America. He also traveled to Spain several times as a guest of the Spanish government, was named Honorary Consul General of Spain for Texas and was granted The Order of Isabella La Catolica, the highest honor awarded to a non-Spanish citizen. Abbott served in the Texas House of Representatives from 1977 to 1978. In 1983, President Reagan appointed him ambassador to the Kingdom of Lesotho, an independent monarchy in southern Africa. In his later years, Abbott and his wife, Arline, divided their time between Texas and California. He was preceded in death by his wife. Abbott is survived by his son, Alan, a former member of the Pacific University Board of Trustees; his grandson, Jason; his granddaughter, Allison Kaelin ‘06; two great-grandchildren; and a brother, Bill. pacificu.edu/magazine 35
