We are responsible for the world in which we find ourselves, if only because we are the only sentient force who can change it.

James Baldwin

The Diversity Center


The PLU Diversity Center brings together people and ideas to celebrate our shared human experience while exploring, affirming, and enriching dignity and diversity in our community. The purposes of the Center are:

  • to serve as a catalyst for campus-wide change;
  • attract and retain students to PLU;
  • strive to build fair practices and habits at PLU; and
  • foster cooperation and communication among campus and Tacoma community groups.

A goal of the Diversity Center is to be an inclusive and inviting space for students to congregate and enjoy community.  The Diversity Center has an open door policy that encourages students to come in, eat lunch, finish homework, talk about life at PLU, ask questions, and more.  In addition to the open door policy, the Diversity Center also programs weekly and monthly activities that provide unique opportunities to learn about and socialize with other cultures.  Students who have found the Diversity Center to be a resource comment on the welcoming atmosphere, openness of student Diversity Advocates, the inviting space for questions and learning, and the chance to just be a regular student in a comfortable setting.
