We look for team members that not only want to be a part of the PLU community, but also want to support our goal to nourish, engage, and sustain the University Community. We look for outstanding people and provide a broad base of benefits and perks, including hours that work around student employee schedules. We also promote diversity, enhance and protect our environment, strengthen communities and advance health and wellness.
