Pacific Lutheran University (PLU)

PLU is the small, private university where caring means more than kindness and consideration — it means a bold commitment to expanding well-being, opportunity, and justice.

This commitment derives from Their Lutheran heritage, and it defines Their faculty and staff who work to create an environment where learners feel heard, and valued. It characterizes Their student body, who aren’t afraid to do things differently to leave the world better than they found it.

MISSION STATEMENT:
PLU seeks to educate students for lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care — for other people, for their communities and for the Earth.
