Pacific Lutheran University

My college education from P.L.U. was and is awesome in it's ability to prepare me for a walk of Faith, community involment, creator of new programs in my own field and just enjoying life as an enriched person.

Daily I am still blessed by friends I made at P.L.U. and I can hear those voices of the professors who enlightened my soul with their virtue, system of beliefs, and care for their students.

Of course the academic and hands on learning I recieved in Communications helped me in my field! While at college I did have my time of rebelion and questioning the Faith Principals of The Lutheran World View. I am glad to see that my college has worked hard to corrected it's racial bias that did exist while I was a student.

Just because I have a College Education from an accredited University I have had opportunity to grow in areas I did not invision while in school. Positions of managment and Sales were open to me when other doors were closed in my own field for a while. This is where I did make more money but I moved back into my more creative field when other opportunities came up. In New York City you had better have a back up plan A,B,C, D...etc if you want to survive in the Arts. I was a teachers aid in Harlem, telephone operator in an Executive Holding Company, Dancer in a Dive, writter and other interesting positions in order to pay the rent!

Well, the 'Lutedome' has changed since the late 80's early 90's. Activities on campus were more spontaneous and do-it-yourself back then. Churchgoing Christians and non-practicing Christians were more unified and got along very well because non-alcohol activities were abundant & pretty cool like office chair races, dorm dances with 500 attending, mosh-pits, midnight mud football, spam-fights, sperm-men, streaking, dogpile R.A.'s we didn't like. Then the beer started flowing beyond control in 1993 and everything went bye-bye. Enforcement was downright unforgiving, and things were clean & politically-correct by the late 90's which mounted to a pretty boring place. Most alumni might remember 1994 being a landmark year of change when PLU split the freshman class orientation in two which started the whole talk about lack of unity on campus because lots of freshmen were like 'Uh, who are YOU?' to other freshmen instead of seeing a familiar face from summer. That's not right! (Trust me, I was there, we Dorm Council grunge guys were on damage control trying to repair the situation) It was up to Student government to keep a few activities and traditions alive because students weren't really meshing like they used to. If I were 18 today, I wouldn't go to PLU. It's a different place now with this naive social justice police mentality meshed with Lutheran disciplinarian approaches to indoctrinating liberal green thought which guarantees a total split-a-rama on campus. And it's way too expensive anyway. For the 'old PLU Experience' I enjoyed soo much, I would recommend Western, Eastern, or Wazzu.
