Meant To Live

A new grant project held by Wild Hope

The Wild Hope Center for Vocation is funding proposals for a Meant to Live Grant. Endowed by a generous gift of the PLU Class of 1958, the Meant to Live events provide an opportunity to cultivate meaningful relationships between alumni and current students in order to assist them with their vocational discernment.

Proposals come from PLU departments and faculty, where they may select from a variety of project types that each aim to highlight alumni stories with regard to vocation while infusing creativity in presenting them. If chosen, Wild Hope will fully fund the needed expenses to fulfill the project to completion.

Throughout the seasons of the year, the Center helps students, staff, faculty, and alumni shape lives of meaning and purpose here in Parkland and throughout the world.

At PLU, vocation means being called with others to promote human and ecological flourishing.
