Student Life at PLU seeks to promote the holistic development of students and steward a dynamic campus community.  We engage students in purposeful experiential learning that challenges them to make a difference in the world as they care for themselves and others, and positively impact the diverse communities in which they live.

The quality of life cultivated and fostered within the university is an essential component of the academic community. The environment produced is conducive to a life of vigorous and creative learning. Pacific Lutheran University also recognizes that liberal education is for the total person and that a complementary relationship exists between students' intellectual development and the satisfaction of their other individual needs. Interaction with persons of differing life experiences, application of classroom knowledge to personal goals and aspirations, and co-curricular experiences are all available and total components of education at PLU. In a time when there is a need for meaningful community, the campus facilitates genuine relationships among members of the university from diverse religious, racial, and cultural backgrounds.

All of the services and facilities provided are intended to complement the academic program. The services reflect changing student needs, and the opportunities for student participation include virtually all aspects of the university. Individual attention is given to students' concerns, including a variety of specific services outlined here and on the web at  www.plu.edu/~slif.
