PLU GOLD Graduates Of the Last Decade from Pacific Lutheran University Did you graduate from PLU between 2002 and 2012? If yes, then this group is for you!

Our events are usually free (or cheap!), and are a great way to reconnect with former classmates and friends, as well as meet some new Lutes! If you have an idea for an event or would like to get involved...send us an email! We would love to hear from you!
