Pacifica’s 50th Anniversary Community Reflections
Pacifica is turning 50, and we want to hear from you. As Pacifica celebrates its 50th anniversary, we are gathering stories, memories, reflections, photos, and hopes from across our community. Whether you are an alum, student, faculty member, staff member, friend, or longtime supporter, your connection to Pacifica is part of the living story we carry forward. Our 50th anniversary theme, Pacifica at the Threshold: Honoring Our Legacy. Dreaming Our Future, invites us to reflect on where we have been, what Pacifica has made possible, and what is still calling us into the future. Use this form to share your Pacifica experience in whatever way feels meaningful: a favorite memory, a moment of transformation, a photo, a reflection, a story from your program, or a hope for Pacifica’s next 50 years. Selected submissions may be shared as part of Pacifica’s 50th anniversary celebration, including anniversary displays, web features, social media, email, event materials, or archival projects.
