Dear Puget Sound Parent, Welcome to the University of Puget Sound campus community. What an exciting time this is for you as you share in the important journey that is your son’s or daughter’s college education. Whether you are a first-time or a continuing Puget Sound parent or family member, we invite you to join the faculty and staff in supporting the intellectual, social, and personal development of students while they are at the university. At Puget Sound, we strive to foster in our students a genuine sense of responsibility as they become independent learners and educated citizen leaders. We also strive to provide the individual contacts, living arrangements, celebrations, behavioral expectations, community service opportunities, and group activities that will help students develop a mature sense of self and a commitment to use their learning to improve human society. In accord with the critical self-reflection that is at the heart of liberal arts education, we view student life and the campus climate as works in progress. We welcome your ideas and suggestions about how we might create a better learning environment for your son or daughter. You may use this Parent Resource Guide to identify many of the services available to students on campus, including the names and telephone numbers of staff members in key areas. All of us are ready to assist students and to help them learn how to use student services effectively. Please feel free to contact us for suggestions as to how you can advise your son or daughter in dealing with our Student Affairs offices. I would like to have the opportunity to meet you for the first time or to see you again sometime during the coming year and hope you will stop by if you are on campus. I look forward to engaging each of our students as they work to accomplish their educational goals. Warmly, Mike Segawa
Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
