The main objective of my SPA project involves developing a complete brand book for the Emergency Food Bank. The organization will achieve a stronger visual identity through this project which will enhance its communication strategy. The brand book functions as a core resource which presents the fundamental branding elements including logo application rules and typography standards and colour scheme selection and image guidelines and tone of voice direction. The main objective of this project is to provide staff members and volunteers with the ability to create materials that match the brand identity so the organization gains better recognition and trust from its stakeholders. The brand book development aims to improve internal efficiency and external engagement while advancing the organization\u27s mission through strategic design

American Idol, which premiered in 2002, enters its 23rd season this year. The popular singing competition features aspiring artists from across the country performing in front of celebrity judges, hoping to earn America’s vote and launch their music careers. Filo has performed at many hallmark Pacific events, including President Christopher Callahan’s inauguration dinner, several scholarship lunches and the memorial service for student life trailblazer Judy Chambers. He’s also performed in many concerts and musical productions at the Conservatory of Music.  Since graduating, Filo completed a master’s program in contemporary performance at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, spending a year at its Valencia campus in Spain before returning to California to work on original music and play shows around the Bay Area. “We all knew Filo was a superstar. Now the entire country will know,” said President Callahan, who, along with First Lady Jean Callahan, has grown close with Filo and his family over the years. “We are so excited for Filo and his amazing Mom. The entire Pacific community is planning a series of events and watch parties to cheer on Filo. We can’t wait.” Alumni are invited to join students on campus at a watch party in the DeRosa University Center Lair on Sundays at 8pm PT. Support your fellow Tiger as he sings his way to the top! Filo's American Idol Journey     Alumna's gift honors her  unique Pacific experience Della Richardson ’89 supports University of the Pacific because of the important gift Pacific first gave her.  “The main thing I got from my college education was confidence—confidence that no matter what happened to me, I could make it through. I could do anything. That’s something money can’t buy,” she said.  Richardson completed her bachelor’s degree at 46 years old. This winter she made a gift to Pacific honoring Dr. Carol Ann Hackley, professor emerita of communications, whose support gave her confidence to thrive as an adult re-entry student and a public relations major.  The Dr. Carol Ann Hackley Experiential Learning Endowment supports internships and other practical opportunities for students pursuing public relations or communications careers. The endowment was funded through the collective generosity of numerous grateful alumni.

From the gridiron to the gallery: Mark Nordquist's winning Eagle spirit Mark Nordquist ‘68 BUS, a former Pacific football standout and Pacific Athletics Hall of Fame honoree, has led a life full of success. Whether as a professional football player, an entrepreneur or an accomplished artist, Mark’s story is one of reinvention and following your passion. Born in Long Beach, Mark was a high school football hero at Reseda High and a proud Eagle Scout by the age of 13. Mark's football journey took him to Pierce College in Woodland Hills, where his talents caught the eye of seven Division I scouts. However, his older brother advised him to take a break from the game in 1965, leading him to work in engine construction at Rocketdyne. That brief detour would change the course of his life when Pacific football coach Doug Scovil scouted him and invited him to join the University of the Pacific football team in 1966. Mark, alongside his wife Joy and their young son Nick, moved to Stockton, where he thrived both on and off the field. At Pacific, Mark excelled as a tackle for the Tigers, playing during the 1966 and 1967 seasons. His 1967 team helped average 22.3 points per game, the best offensive performance in nine seasons. Seven players from that team would go on to play professional football. In addition to his athletic success, Mark earned a degree in Business Administration with a minor in accounting from the Eberhardt School of Business, graduating in 1968. That year, Mark was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. He would go on to have a stellar nine-year career in the NFL, playing as an offensive lineman (right guard), including two years with the Chicago Bears.

The Tigers clinched their fourth conference title in program history on the men’s side and first since the 2004-05 season. They won the title by 41 points over University of the Incarnate Word with a 331-290 advantage. “This was a true team effort,” said head coach Katelyne Herrington. “We needed everyone to put everything on the line to make it happen. We had to have swimmers step up in events they’ve never raced before. We had swimmers double up in events. Everyone put their heart and soul on the line to make it happen.” Read more       From the University Art Collection  "All paintings start out of a mood, out of a relationship with things or people, out of a complete visual impression.” Richard Diebenkorn epitomizes California vibes and the free spirit of the Robert & Jeannette Powell Art Collection. At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne where he had his first teaching job, Diebenkorn papered over the windows of his studio in despair of the bleak landscape. Returning to Berkeley he achieved international success, moving through styles from abstraction to figuration as it pleased him.  Diebenkorn’s Untitled (From Club/Spade Group) lithograph from the early 1980s is a key example of this fluid approach.      From the University Archives South Hall was one of the original buildings on the Pacific campus in 1924. As Pacific’s enrollment rose, so did the need for more housing and West Hall was built west of South Hall in 1946. Even though the two buildings were attached in the 1950s, they maintained two different names until the early 1990s when they became South-West Hall and eventually Southwest Hall. Since there was already the West Memorial Infirmary on campus (built in 1926 and named for the West family), there were two buildings with West in their names for nearly 50 years. Perhaps this caused just enough confusion and lead to stories of ghosts from the “hospital” to haunt the Southwest’s rooms. The Archives has more cool stuff: pacific.edu/archives.  Photo credit: The west side of Southwest Hall stood in as Willard Dormitory in Paramount’s 1998 movie, Dead Man on Campus.
