The Scandinavian Cultural Center (SCC) serves:

  • to enrich understanding and appreciation of Nordic and Nordic-American perspectives and cultures through our shared values, ideas, and heart,
  • to embrace Nordic themes of connection to nature, sustainability, hospitality, social justice, and innovation, and
  • to support PLU’s educational mission in recognition of PLU’s Nordic heritage and traditions.

Membership in the SCC is a great way to stay up to date with our events and to become involved in our programming.

“Bottom Line: We are all similar. We are all connected,” says longtime volunteer Linda Caspersen.

Part museum, part gathering place, part living classroom, the SCC preserves and shares stories of Nordic and Nordic-American heritage.
