The Pacifican

Since 1908, The Pacifican has served as the voice of the Pacific community through concrete and detail-oriented student journalism.

Your support will build on a legacy of student-led creativity and innovation by providing student funding, new technology, and dynamic learning opportunities for journalists. 


Your gift will help Pacific students successfully navigate an ever-changing global media landscape. Every gift, no matter the size, counts and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of student journalists. Thank you! 


Here is how your gift can impact The Pacifican and its staff, now and in the future:

Limited Print Run: Gifts to The Pacifican fund a year-in-review limited print release at the end of every academic year. $500 will cover next year's publication.

Staffing and Student Development: It takes $15,000 annually to support a staff of 15 student writers ($1,000/per per writer). This year, The Pacifican also aims to send as many students as possible to journalism conferences, to develop their skills and network with student journalists from other institutions.

Production Essentials: With the move to an online platform, the Pacifican strives to increase accessibility to all members of the Pacific community. This includes producing audio recordings of each story and maintaining an ADA compliant website. It will cost $300 to maintain The Pacifican's web domain and $400 to purchase new audio recording equipment. An additional $500 will fund a new camera and tripod, allowing student photographers to cover more events.
