Invest in Seattle Pacific
Another school year is almost over, and I’m preparing for my second summer away from
Seattle Pacific University’s beautiful campus. The flowers are in bloom, the sun is finally shining,
and the campus is very much alive as we wrap up finals week (Seattle’s famous coffee is helping
tremendously).
Thanks to thousands of donors like you, I’ll be returning to campus in the
fall as a junior studying business and economics. I’m learning how business
can engage the culture and make the world a better place. But, in my

return with me.

My name is Olivia Lenz, and I’m finishing my sophomore year at Seattle Pacific University. I’m majoring in chemistry and minoring in clothing and textiles. I’ve loved every minute of my time here. SPU has made a huge difference in my life. Let me tell you how.
My story begins in small-town Ellensburg, where my two sisters and I grew up. Dad works for Puget Sound Energy, and my mom is a kindergarten teacher. I started classical ballet at the age of two. (Mom always says I was dancing by the time I could walk.) Growing up, I poured myself into school, dancing, sewing, and 4H.
