New Banners on Campus

Have you noticed the faintly medieval yet very contemporary banners on campus? Each one presents a core element of Lutheran education as practiced or valued at PLU: Critical Questioning, Protecting Freedom, Liberating Study, Learning Together, Care for Creation, Discerning Vocation, Service to Others, Globally Engaged. Each of the eight terms is inspired by the faculty and staff produced booklet Core Elements in Lutheran Higher Education. You can find reflections on the elements at www.plu.edu/lutheran-studies/core-elements
