University of the Pacific

The University of the Pacific women's tennis team is celebrating a successful showing at the Central Valley Clash. The Tigers' programme highlighted its results from the event, marking a positive moment early in the season for the Stockton-based squad as it builds momentum in regional collegiate competition.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation creating an official state designation for Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander-serving institutions. The measure, described as historic by the governor's office, formally recognizes colleges and universities that serve large AANHPI student populations, opening the door to targeted state support. Officials and education advocates are welcoming the move as a step toward equity in higher education.

Pacific University's men's golf team, the Boxers, finished second at the Pacific Lutheran Invite, coming close to a school record in the process. The result is a strong showing for the program, which narrowly missed setting a new benchmark score at the tournament hosted by Pacific Lutheran University.
