Sustainability at PLU

In 2004, PLU was the first Northwest university to sign the Talloires Declaration, a compact among universities worldwide to move toward an environmentally sustainable future.  In this area, PLU has been a leader for years - that goal is even part of its mission: "to educate students for lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care - for other persons, for their communities and for the earth."

2020 Sustainable Communities

The campus community realizes that embracing the future requires that we plan together and that we regularly invite the PLU constituency to help. When we do, we can realize our dreams to fulfill our mission, to cultivate academic excellence, to build an engaged community, to enhance our global perspective, to seek fiscal strength, to ensure broad access to our programs and to nurture life as vocation in the fullest sense.

Now, as we approach the end of another decade, the time seems right to appropriate and extend our tradition of decennial planning projects and turn our attention to PLU 2020, a new long-range plan for Pacific Lutheran University.

As part of PLU's overall planning for 2020, "Sustainable Communities" has been added as one of the 8 categories for planning.  In order to capture the wide spectrum of thoughts in the campus community, the Committee would like to open this form to encourage feedback.

Leave your thoughts.
