Students

Beyond the cheering crowds and the final whistle, the journey of a college athlete is a demanding one. Recognizing this, the University of Puget Sound is taking a significant step in supporting the whole athlete by prioritizing the well-being and leadership development of its female student-athletes, thanks to a generous endowment of $1 million from 1991 graduate Christi Offutt and the Offutt Family Foundation. The gift fuels the launch of the Elevate: Women's Athletics Wellness & Leadership Development Program, a comprehensive initiative designed by Puget Sound Athletic Director Amy Hackett to address the unique challenges faced by women in sports.
