Department of
Instructional Development and Leadership

Long committed to providing a quality education, Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) continues to embrace its primary mission: to empower students for lives of thoughtful inquiry, leadership, service and care---for others, their communities, and the Earth.

We aim to cultivate the intellect, not for its own sake merely, but as a tool of conscience and an instrument for service. In supporting this mission, departmental faculty members and candidates model the values of competence, care, difference, leadership, and service and seek to honor each of these as they pursue excellence and cultivate personal, supportive relationships with students, colleagues in neighboring schools, districts, and universities, and faculty within the University.
