ResoLute Fall 2025
Rooted for Lutes — in the spirit of care — is the focus of wellbeing. At PLU, wellbeing is an ecology. If you do a search for “wellbeing” you will find Wellbeing Ecology on the Student Life website. It is interdependent, it is the relationship between people, place, and our planet. It is rooted in equity — wellbeing is what YOU need to move forward in today’s complex world. And, today’s PLU is showing up for ALL of our students.
