Dhaval Patel, Associate Director for Campus Life Operations (& Former Community Director for Stuen & Ordal Halls): “Working with the campus life team makes me feel like I can always show up as my authentic self.

Maggie Hendrickson, Former Community Director for Tingelstad Hall: “Working on our CD team is my favorite part of being a Community Director at PLU. We are a very collaborative and supportive department, and it has been great to develop friendships in addition to positive, professional relationships. I have especially valued our commitment to innovating our practices to be as inclusive and committed to our mission as possible.”
