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.”
