We've been sharing uplifting stories of #BoxerPride from current students, alumni, professors and members of our Pacific community all month leading up to TODAY — Boxer Giving Day! Thanks to the support from the Pacific community, current student Riya Patel '25 is proud to be a photographer with the athletics department. "The support from both my peers and the Pacific faculty and staff has continually encouraged me to pursue my passion for photography and do what I love," says Riya. "The faculty truly care about you and want you to succeed. I am grateful for the memories and happiness I’ve been able to spread. I've even had the chance to build my portfolio and form valuable connections. This has led to exciting opportunities — like covering professional sports teams, such as the Portland Timbers and Thorns."
