The Commons: A gathering place for Seattle University faculty and staff

Did you miss the press conference last week at which President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., announced that SU was joining the Western Athletic Conference? If so, you can check out some of the sights and sounds here. 

The Commons had a chance encounter with Associate Professor of History Dave Madsen just days before graduation as he was exiting the University Services Building, having just picked up the newly arrived mace. As grand marshal, Madsen carried the mace at Commencement. Click here to read what he had to say about this curious tradition in an interview with The Commons last year. 

A big thanks to Mark Schoen, associate controller, for sending in this and other great shots of spring on SU's campus. Check out the full set.
