Alumni Board
The mission of the PLU Alumni Board is to assist the university in developing an alumni community whose members demonstrate a lifelong commitment to each other, devotion to PLU’s mission and investment in its future.
The Alumni Board in conjunction with the Alumni & Student Connections office:
- fosters communication and relationships among alumni, students, faculty and staff
- enhances alumni commitment to the university through development and support of service, investment, and life long learning opportunities
- promotes celebration of accomplishments of the university and its students, faculty and alumni
The board meets twice a year on campus and conducts much of its business through the work of various committees.
