Seattle University students make a meaningful impact on the world.

They’re future focused, fearlessly exceptional and brimming with passion and purpose. They balance self-reliance with interdependence.

Knowledge with spirituality. And bravely question accepted norms to advance our understanding of the world.

Spend your spring working with an NGO in India. Your summer interning for a Fortune 500 company in downtown Seattle. Your evenings hanging out where music fans first discovered Nirvana. Indulge your adventurous spirit, get your hands dirty and become invested in the community as you enrich the lives of everyone you meet.

“In a Jesuit university, we believe in educating the whole person—body, mind, spirit—so it is about a holistic approach to education,” said Shane P. Martin, Seattle University Provost.

Our curriculum and character stretch far beyond the classroom and into the world that surrounds us.

It all begins here at Seattle University.

That first class. That first student club. That moment when you and your peers look around and realize that in a city so full of culture and history, you are prepared to make a difference.

IS NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE That’s why people from everywhere come to Seattle University with open minds and open hearts. We care for the whole person and educate our students knowing that mind, body and spirit are equal parts of the human equation.

Our curriculum is rooted in nearly 500 years of Jesuit Catholic tradition, an international perspective and commitment to intellectual transformation that challenges preconceived notions and encourages us to strive for the greater good. We reflect before we react, embrace difficult questions and seek to find common ground.

URBAN EXPLORER At the end of the day, McKenna Jay Mauliola Mau, ’19, hops a Metro bus from his summer internship on Seattle’s waterfront to his Capitol Hill apartment. Originally from Hawaii, Mau has grown accustomed to his urban lifestyle—from conveniences like the city’s bike share program to opportunities for networking with some of the world’s top companies.

college. He says Seattle U and Albers speaker events, career fairs and placement counselors helped develop his professional aptitude. Joining the Beta Alpha Psi Academic Honor Society also offered networking and recruiting opportunities with national and international firms.

Looking back, Mau is glad he chose Seattle U over the rural university he was also considering his senior year of high school.

Then a prospective business student, Mau was banking on Seattle’s international business hub offering more job prospects.

Networking intimidated Mau until he learned how to pitch his experience in a few sentences. He made an effort to keep attending events and improve his skills. “When I first came here I didn’t know how to talk to people at those things,” Mau says.

“I’ve seen a lot of changes in myself over the years.”

In the summer of 2018, that decision began paying dividends for the Albers School of Business and Economics accounting major.

He secured an accounting internship with the Port of Seattle through a career fair hosted by Seattle U. The opportunity gave him professional experience and connected him with a mentor.

After graduation, Mau followed the prevailing industry trend and is pursuing his master’s in public accounting (MPAC) to have enough credits needed to sit for his Certified Public Accountant license. Should an internship or job offer come along, he can pursue his MPAC at night.

Mau didn’t get here overnight. Many of his skills that seem effortless now were foreign to him in his first two years of

“The experience made me realize I don’t want to live in the U.S. “You’re helping create something and teaching the community bubble,” Graham says. “I realized I wanted to work for people how to maintain it. The goal of this is to not be needed anymore,” who needed better systems around them. When I came back I she says. started searching for ways where I could do that professionally.”

A RHYTHM Lindsey Bui, ’21, has danced her way into a newfound home at Seattle University. The performing arts— specifically, dance and choreography—give Bui a sense of identity and self-expression and help her stay on point as a College of Nursing student.

Bui comes from a tight-knit Vietnamese-American family whose blend of values signifies a cultural distance between her family’s past in war-torn Vietnam and their current home in Portland, Ore. With a clear purpose of becoming a nurse, Bui says Seattle U’s amazing nursing program stood out from the competition. As importantly, the university struck her as a place where she could explore her independence and collaborate with like-minded individuals.

She says she has not been disappointed.

Of her supportive nursing cohort, she says, “The program is rigorous, so we all make sure no one gets left behind.”

In addition to her studies, Bui is active with various clubs and programs on campus. One of the first clubs she joined was the Vietnamese Student Association through which she met Asian students of several nationalities. She served on the planning committee for the spring cultural show, Xuan, and participated as a choreographer and dancer. That led her to join the United Filipino Club, choreographing for its show, Barrio.

Bui is also a retreat leader for Campus Ministry and works as a Redhawk Ambassador for Admissions and as a tutor for first-year students. Each experience has opened Bui to new possibilities.

“SU gave me a fresh start and lots of friends to be around,” she says. “I never thought I’d be as involved as I am now. What I wanted from SU was a home and I have definitely found that.”

Seattle truly is a city like no other. It’s the city that has other civic leaders asking, “How can we become ‘the next Seattle?’” It’s where some of the most forward-thinking people in the world come to live and work and where students who aspire to shine in the Emerald City come to forge new paths.

Our 55-acre campus, in the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood, was designated an official Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary by the Washington State Fish and Wildlife Department. On campus our facilities are state-of-the-art, while off campus art, culture and nightlife are in a constant state of reinvention—and all within walking distance. One minute you’re studying in the acclaimed Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons, the next you’re feasting on world-class sushi then discovering a rock legend-in-the-making long before Spotify does.

IGNITED FROM WITHIN From bike riding and watching sports and movies to playing basketball, Morgan Means, ’20, “did everything” with his parents and older brother while growing up in Compton, Calif. When the time came for college he was ready for more independence, but wanted a nurturing college environment.

“I knew I would benefit from attending school in a new city and state,” says Means, the starting point guard for the Seattle U men’s basketball team.

“But I still wanted some support.”

Seattle U’s commitment to “get behind students and grow them as people … really attracted me to this school,” Means says. “Coming here has made me a better person as well as a better student.”

Means, who enjoys the university’s “close-knit community,” describes his peers as “good people who understand how people should be treated.”

His basketball teammates are his “family inside a family.”

With a mother in education, Means grew up reading and doing book reports she assigned. Now a Communication Major with a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, he says his professors genuinely care about his future. “(They) want you to succeed.”

A classroom service-learning project with displaced Japanese-American elders helped Means reflect on his life’s blessings and learn about another culture. “I am better off for it. It was a great growing-up experience,” he says.

His advice to future Redhawks? “Allow yourself to grow. Don’t limit yourself. Once you leave, you’ll be better at everything this university has an influence on.”

It rains all the time in Seattle.

REALITY

While we are frequently overcast with light rain, cities like Miami, Boston and Washington, D.C., have higher average rainfall than Seattle.

RUMOR

You can never leave home without an umbrella.

REALITY

A typical rainy day in Seattle is more of a soft drizzle, so most true Seattleites invest in a good rain jacket (with a hood) and leave the umbrella at home.

RUMOR

It's never sunny in Seattle.

When working on products that millions of customers use every day and collaborating with many engineering and product teams, it is crucial to be inclusive in meetings and in product design. Seattle University helps you build the soft skill set to flex that empathy by questioning assumptions and voicing opinions.
