The Aimee’s 2022

December 6

Creativity, the arts, and storytelling are part of the rich heritage and legacy of Life Pacific University. The Aimee’s, named for our founder Sister Aimee Semple Mcpherson, is a long-held tradition where our students create compelling films for the holidays and compete for the top awards. Those competing are divided up by their floors in the Residence Halls, with healthy competition created between on-campus residents. After these films are created, all students, staff, faculty, and guests gather for an “Oscars” style award ceremony, where awards are presented after being judged by a group of staff and faculty. There is a red carpet, photo booth, refreshments, hosts, presenters, and more. It’s a campus favorite event every year.   

President Angie Richey states about this year’s Aimee’s event, “Our college students were over the top, highlighting their talent, humanity, and skills developed here at Life Pacific. Such a fun and powerful night”.
