Welcome home, Redhawks 📦👐

Seattle University students and sports fans can purchase new Nike-branded Redhawk gear online—available now—and during the school year at pop-up kiosks traveling around campus selling SU merch.

The new ways of purchasing SU-branded clothing comes with the switch to Nike as the supplier of uniforms and footwear worn by Seattle University athletes and coaches, with BSN SPORTS handling distribution.

The pop-up kiosk will arrive on campus at the start of fall quarter and will be positioned at different locations and at sporting events. The online shop and pop-up kiosk will be the temporary home for Redhawk gear for the 2026-27 school year as the Campus Store finds a new home.

Seattle University is proud to honor the annual observance of Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month, a time that extends across September and October and coincides with the independence celebrations of several countries. More than a commemoration on the calendar, this season is an invitation to pause, listen, learn and celebrate the many ways Hispanic and Latin American communities have shaped, and continue to shape, the history, culture and future of the United States.

"I did not inherit the language of my Mexican ancestors, but I inherited everything else: resilience, determination, and a fierce belief that I belonged in rooms my ancestors never had access to," reflects Kelli Rodriguez, MBA, assistant dean for academic affairs in the Seattle University School of Law.

"Now, I carry that belief into every one of those rooms. This Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month, I’m reminded of the responsibility that comes with it: to ensure the people coming up behind me have that same permission to show up as their whole selves and know there is space for them too."

We are so back.

Welcome to campus, Seattle University Class of 2030 👐

Today, we pause in remembrance of the lives lost, the families affected and all who courageously served on September 11, 2001.

This summer, high school students experienced Seattle while getting a taste of college life through our Pre-College Programs. From AI for Equity and Urban Sustainability to Business Fundamentals and Summer@Cornish, students explored their interests, experienced life on campus and discovered some of what Seattle has to offer.
