Voice, Vision, Action

The Associated Students of Pacific Lutheran University (ASPLU) is the governing body of students at Pacific Lutheran University, and represents the collective voice of students in university affairs and decision making.  Utilizing the Student Senate, Board of Directors, and Programming Committees,  ASPLU strives to bring effective programs, events, campaigns, and legislation that directly improves the lives of students at PLU immediately and long-term.

Our Mission

ASPLU consciously promotes the vision and reflects the many voices of our student body. As leaders, who are cognizant of the future, we uphold the tradition of positive action by mentoring new student leadership and recognizing the need for change, with knowledge and respect for the strong structural basis of ASPLU.

To lead in collaboration with our campus, we focus both outwards on our partnerships with student clubs and organizations, faculty, staff, and administration of the greater Pacific Lutheran University community as well as inwards on ourselves. Therefore the mission of the Associated Students of Pacific Lutheran University is to promote the growth of the collective student body community as a whole, while actively encouraging the advancement of the individual.

Get Involved

At PLU, being multi-disciplined extends beyond just the classroom. Following this, ASPLU offers many ways for students to get involved in more than just student government! Students can not only be a senator, they can also be a member of a programming committee, be a director, lead an outdoor excursion as an Outdoor Recreation guide, gain experience as a graphic designer working for IMPACT, serve on a university faculty committee, and be a part of countless other opportunities.
