The Next Level of Distinction offers rich opportunities for reflection, conversation, and input. They focus on our relationships and responsibilities to one another and to our neighbors, both near and far. We invite you to use these papers as springboards for your own thinking about who we are and imagining what we might become over the next decade. Please join us in examining ideas and in challenging one another to better and bolder thinking, as together we construct our future.
Community is both inclusive and exclusive.
Pacific Lutheran University invites students to be part of a learning community. We welcome many, but not all, into the PLU community. And that is acceptable, for we need boundaries to define our community. Community is offered, and being a part of it comes with rights and responsibilities. For what is given, much is expected in return.
