Discover a new passion
It would take hours to describe all the ways to get involved at PLU. In fact, we make it easy to participate. The choices are many: lead a sea kayak trip, direct a television show, edit the literary magazine, try stand-up comedy or organize a lecture series. PLU hosts an Involvement Fair each fall where students can learn about more than 100 clubs and organizations. The possibilities are limitless. PLU has hundreds of opportunities that allow you to pursue an interest – even if it is something you’ve never done before. Especially if it is something you’ve never done before.
That’s another way PLU is different. Whether you live on campus or off, we encourage you meet new people, learn from others and put your beliefs into action. In short: to discover a new passion. Or several. Meaningful involvement that creates change and creates opportunities – that’s what university life at PLU is all about. And one thing we’ve found about PLU students – they rarely just get involved. They lead.
You can change the world with Advocates for Social Justice or work side-by-side with faculty to implement earth-friendly practices on campus. Some clubs are tailor-made to apply lessons from the classroom like the Investment Club, where you meet each week with students and business professors to invest real money in the Stock Market. Of course, there are clubs that allow you to recharge your spirit with others who share similar interests, belief systems or cultures, such as the Asian Pacific Islanders Club or the Key Society. PLU’s Diversity Center is a leader in connecting students with clubs that focus on exploring diverse cultures.
