The Diversity Center

Getting Involved 

There are several organizations ran by students here at PLU who are concerned with issues centered around diversity.  They offer opportunities for social interaction and networking as well as the promotion of cultural and political consciousness while still increasing cross-cultural dialogue here at PLU.

Bringing it Together

There are many "traditional" PLU events ran annual by student lead diversity clubs. Learn how you can be apart of the continuing traditions and making new ones.

Membership in these organizations is open to any and all PLU community members interested in being a part of social justice in action, especially those who see diversity and multiculturalism as an important facet of their lives and future careers.  To get involved, one need only inquire. The dCenter is waiting and willing to connect you with the right organization that fits your needs and desires.
