traditional age students will not change dramatically, but their composition will, as the new cohort becomes more diverse in learning experience and style, in their economic situation, in their ethnic heritage and in their educational expectations. I believe that both more non-traditional age students and more first generation students are headed our way.

It was the small class size and the community that sealed the deal, and I never looked back. My PLU experience: My experience at PLU has challenged the way I see myself in relation to the rest of the
