Make Your Mark 2010

Class of 2009

Want to make a lasting difference at PLU?

Join your classmates in making a gift to PLU's Q Club and support future Lutes! Make Your Mark, also known as Graduation Gift, was started by the class of 1980 as a way of showing appreciation to PLU. They decided the best way to do this was to give their alma mater a pledge of financial support. Since then, Make Your Mark has grown and become a PLU tradition.

Still wondering about why you should participate?

  • Tuition and fees only cover about 77 percent of the cost of a PLU education. The other 23 percent comes from generous alumni, parents, faculty, staff, churches, foundations and corporations.
  • Nine out of 10 students at PLU receive some type of financial assistance.
  • During the last four years, alumni, parents and friends contributed millions of dollars to the university, providing needed support for new buildings, current facility and technology upgrades, campus security, student scholarships and the list goes on...
  • You can help give other students the opportunity to come to PLU, just as thousands of alumni, parents, friend and other senior classes have been doing for many years.
  • You are a Lute and as a member of the Class of 2010, you won't want to be left out!
