Summer
Updates
Welcome
back, Lutes!
All students
are invited to a Pancake Feed in Red Square on Monday, September
5, 2005 from 8 - 10 a.m. Bring your appetite, summer stories and
desire to see friends old and new!
- Information
and Technology Services (formerly known as Information Resources)
has begun a project this summer to create wireless access points
in campus residence hall lounges. As lounges are enabled with
wireless network access, they will be posted at: www.plu.edu/~resnet/wireless-networking/home.html.
- Construction
of the Morken Center for Learning & Technology, the largest
single capital project in PLU’s history, continues apace.
You will see the completed building shell when you arrive in the
fall. This summer’s projects include reviewing building technology
and planning for the landscaping and interior work that will begin
in the fall.
- The “Big
Dig” has begun! A major ground-work project is underway on
campus this summer to implement the first major upgrade of physical
communications pathways in 15 years. The Big Dig will create a
new telecommunication backbone that supports future construction
and makes our current campus systems (i.e. Internet and phone
services) easier to upgrade. Associated landscape changes and
repaving will significantly improve drainage and accessibility
on upper-campus.
2005-2006
Student Planner
The Daily Planner and Student Handbook has daily
and monthly calendars pre-printed with important PLU information!
Residential students will receive their planners during move-in.
New off-campus students will receive a planner during orientation.
Continuing off-campus students can pick one up at the Campus Concierge,
Student Involvement & Leadership Office, Student Services Center
or the Student Life Office on September 6, 2005.

role in creating and maintaining a positive educational environment.

about PLU’s conduct expectations or procedures.

Convocation
and Campus Involvement and Job Fair
President Anderson invites new and continuing students, as well
as family members, to Convocation. This annual tradition opens the
academic year by welcoming our new students and faculty. Dr. Anderson
will share his vision for the 116th academic year at PLU. Please
note that all classes are cancelled during convocation, and all
campus offices are closed as well.
The Campus Involvement and Job Fair and Campus Reception follow
