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 impact of an internship is significant for students:

  • Diverse Opportunities: PLU internships span a wide range of academic disciplines, from computer science and the arts to laboratory research and impactful work with nonprofit organizations.

  • Career Transformation: These experiences provide students with practical skills, professional networks, and the confidence to excel in their chosen fields.

  • Investing in Potential: Your contribution helps reduce financial obstacles for students to pursue their career aspirations.

"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. This work was incredibly interesting and I hope to bring this knowledge to my future career."
