Educator and Advocate Stacy Wells Chapin ’91

In 2022, Stacy Wells Chapin ’91 got the worst call a parent can imagine — her son, Ethan, had been murdered. In spite of her grief, Stacy rose to the challenge, helping support the members of Ethan's fraternity on their healing journey, writing a book, The Boy Who Wore Blue, and starting the Ethan's Smile Foundation to support the educational goals of students like her son. Always a Logger is a podcast from the University of Puget Sound and the Puget Sound Alumni Council about the winding path to success and the many ways Logger alumni reach their career goals. This episode was hosted and produced by Julie Gates ’90, the Digital Engagement & Communications Committee Chair for the Alumni Council Executive Committee. Julie is a media leader with extensive experience in radio, TV, and podcasts. This episode was edited by Alex Crook with production support from Jonny Eberle. Watch the video version of this interview on our YouTube channel. Related Links: Ethan's Smile Foundation: https://www.ethanssmile.org/Meet this year's Puget Sound Alumni Award Winners: https://www.pugetsound.edu/stories/celebrating-alumni-excellenceA recent story about summer students researching true crime and how DNA is being used to solve cold case murders in Washington: https://www.pugetsound.edu/stories/university-puget-sound-student-research-shines-spotlight-cold-cases-washingtonLearn more about the University of Puget Sound and listen to more episodes of Always a Logger at pugetsound.edu/always-a-logger-podcast.
