About EXPLORE!

J-Term is a unique time at PLU, when students take one class and the pace of life slows down a bit.  It's also the perfect time to get off campus and meet new students at the annual EXPLORE! retreat for first year students.  Part of PLU's Wild Hope Project, EXPLORE! is an over-night retreat offering students a chance to discuss their journeys at PLU and beyond.  Join us for a movie, rock climbing, swimming, a bonfire, and some really great conversation about meaning and purpose in life.  This retreat is one of the most important events PLU offers.  We hope to see YOU in January at EXPLORE!

The Wild Hope Project

Wild Hope


In December of 2002 Pacific Lutheran University received a $2 million grant from the Lilly Endowment for a five-year project under an Endowment program for undergraduate campuses on the theological exploration of vocation. The project at PLU has since come to be named The Wild Hope Project , inviting students to ponder, “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?" Wild because of the unpredictable and complex nature of the world are so great, and precious because the life of each individual student vitally matters and is full of remarkable promise.
