The couple believes that students should get a chance to experience the sense of family, the one-on-one with professors and all of Pacific Lutheran University, as they did 30 years ago as undergraduates. Marilyn Anderson graduated in the nursing program; Alan Anderson in business. “I enjoyed the small class size and my relationships with my professors,” said Alan Anderson. “That access was important to me, as well as the real-world experiences PLU
