Wang Center for Global and Community Engaged Education

The Mission of the Wang Center for Global and Community Engaged Education:

Working collaboratively with academic units and disciplines of Pacific Lutheran University, the Wang Center is dedicated to supporting faculty, students and staff with the resources necessary to advance PLU’s distinction and vision for global education of “educating to achieve a just, healthy, sustainable and peaceful world” through faculty development and grant opportunities, delivery of study away programs, on-campus programming on pressing world issues, and a commitment to best practices when engaging with education partners, both locally and globally.

PLU is a globally focused university that remains committed to providing high quality study away programs as a high-impact experiential practice that enhances students’ capacity for critical thought, written and verbal expression, intercultural communication, as well as their knowledge about the interconnectedness of the world through the exploration of links between classroom learning and community settings at home and abroad.
