Family & Supporters LUTE Welcome (Orientation) Schedule @ a Glance

LUTE Welcome is packed with Lute traditions that will help your student transition to PLU and meet faculty, staff and peers. Family and supporters, including parents, grandparents, partners, spouses, children, siblings, cousins, friends, mentors, sponsors, etc. are a key part of each student’s transition and journey at PLU.

Therefore, LUTE Welcome is also designed to welcome families and supporters to the Lute Community: Sessions on Saturday, August 30, 2025 are designed just for you while your new student spends time with their peer-led LUTE Group. There are also additional sessions throughout LUTE Welcome weekend that families and supporters are invited and encouraged to attend with their new Lute!
