Meet Amber Bryant, ’25, Diagnostic Ultrasound

While raising three kids and working full-time, Amber Bryant persevered to complete her Diagnostic Ultrasound degree at Seattle University. During her clinical training, she identified a life-threatening heart condition, possibly saving a patient’s life before even graduating.

❤️ October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month—a time to recognize the difference sonographers like Amber make every day.

SU Gives is almost here! 🎉

is Seattle University’s annual 24-hour day of giving—a chance for our entire community to come together and make a legendary impact. We hope you’ll join us in supporting the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

You can help uplift the work happening across the college by giving to one or more of three key areas:

In an effort to fill a critical need for health care professionals and to build on the stellar reputation of producing high-quality, Jesuit-educated nurses and health care professionals who put the care of people first, Seattle University’s College of Nursing has expanded to become the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

The College will be led by Dean Butch de Castro, who transitions from being dean of the College of Nursing to serve in an enhanced role as the Charles M. Pigott Dean, named for the retired chairman and CEO of PACCAR, Inc., whose $5M gift made the deanship possible. The endowment will also support new academic programs aimed at addressing the most pressing health care industry and workforce needs.

“I deeply appreciate the selfless generosity of Mr. Pigott and his belief in our commitment to addressing the health care needs of communities throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond,” de Castro says. “His gift strengthens our institutional ability to live out our Jesuit tradition in service of the greater good.”

We’re proud to begin this new chapter as the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Learn more about the expansion and new programs in the full announcement: https://www.seattleu.edu/newsroom/2025/a-bold-step-forward-in-health-education.php
