Spurs & IK Gathering
PLU 50th Reunion for the Class of 1972
Greetings Lutes! There was a great turnout of alumni at the Class of 1972 50th Reunion on Friday, October 7. Earlier in the day the Spurs and IKs met at 208 Garfield to reconnect. Also, many classmates went on a walking tour of campus before the reunion began! We continued to see alums in the class attend the Football game, PLU on Tap, and the service at Trinity on Sunday morning followed by the Golden Club Brunch, where they were the youngest attendees!
Special thanks to Robin (George) Gehrs, Gerd-Inger (Gregersen) McDougall, and Nancy Schultz for creating this beautiful birch memory tree for classmates that have died. Each leaf has the classmate’s name and their date of death.
Class of 1972 Endowed Internship Fund
In celebration of their 50th reunion, the Class of 1972, represented by the 1972 Reunion Committee, has decided to create a lasting impact on PLU students by creating a new endowed internship fund.
Internships provide opportunities to elevate a student’s education and set them up for career success in ways that can’t be accomplished in the classroom alone. These experiences help students explore their vocation, grow their skills through direct experience, and provide a competitive advantage when entering the workforce.
Additionally, the committee has generously contributed two new trees that will be planted to honor the members of the Class of 1972 who are no longer with us. These trees will be planted in the heart of campus near Harstad Hall.
