Mitchell named
Alumnus of the Year
Dr. Steve Mitchell ’87 (pictured above), a
physician and medical director of Harborview
Medical Center’s Emergency Department, was
honored as Seattle Pacific’s 2021 Alumnus
of the Year. During the COVID-19 pandemic,
he led the effort to establish a new database
that links all Washington state hospitals for a
cooperative approach to emergency pandemic
management. The award was presented at
a virtual event for SPU donors in November.
