You Ask, We Answer: Is campus welcoming to the LGBTQIA+ community?

The short answer to this question is yes, we are definitely welcoming to LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities.

Here’s how:

At PLU, ‘care’ is not a just a word in our mission statement, but a value we are committed to living out authentically. We recognize and value the differences and diversity of our students – who they are and what they bring to the campus community.

We also actively and intentionally work to ensure our students, faculty and staff experience and get to be a part of a safe, welcoming environment. That work has recently earned us a 4.5 out of 5 stars on the Campus Pride Index!

Below are just some of the resources we have to help educate and support students and allies in the LGBTQIA+ community:

• Pride at PLU
• Center for Diversity, Justice & Sustainability
• Prism Club
• Lavender Community (on-campus housing)
• Transgender & Gender Non-Binary Resources
• Names are Sacred Campaign
• LGBTQ+ Faith Resources
• Identity Resources While Studying Away – LGBTQ+

PLU is a place where your identity is respected and celebrated. We’re constantly listening, learning and improving to provide resources and support for you to thrive, both academically and personally.
