President's Updates

We are pleased to announce that, effective September 1, the College of Arts and Sciences has been officially reorganized and renamed as the College of Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences (CHESS).

We are writing to provide an update regarding the Hedreen Art Collection and its future role in advancing the arts and arts education at Seattle University.

It is an honor to join you at this important moment in Seattle University’s history and to serve as your president.

As wildfires continue to burn across Washington state, I ask that we keep in our prayers all those who have experienced loss, displacement, and uncertainty in recent days.

As we look forward to welcoming Dr. Maura Mast as Seattle University’s 23rd president on September 1 and the next chapter in our mission and future, the transition team has been focused on ensuring a strong and successful start to her presidency.

With mixed emotions I share that Anne Moran is leaving Seattle University to become the Chief of Staff for President Eduardo Peñalver at Georgetown University.
