Supporting Lute Internships

We’ve received a substantial increase in students seeking funding from the PLU Internship Fund for their spring internships – you can support internship experiences for more students with your gift to the Internship Fund today.

"The most meaningful part of my internship was compiling a report on Colorado's Indigenous tribes and their history with the government, which was shared with the heritage department to improve collaboration during repatriation activities.
