A fresh perspective Each year, more than 250 transfer students bring a diverse mix of opinions and perspectives to the PLU campus. When asked what makes a typical transfer student, Joelle Pretty, PLU’s director of transfer recruitment had a simple answer. “There is no typical transfer student.” Each year, PLU admits between 250 to 300 transfer students to campus.
