On the third Saturday of the academic year, students are invited to participate in On the Road (OTR), a day-trip to build connections and explore beyond PLU.  Rooted in our values of diversity, justice, and sustainability, OTR will center community building through a diverse selection of activities that uplift our interconnectedness to each other and our environments.  Students will choose their day-trips connecting them with peers of similar interests and an excited student-faculty-staff co-facilitator team.  The day will close with an all OTR participant dinner and evening activities to share our experiences and connect as a larger community.  

2024 Theme: Nourishing Our Roots

The ability of a plant to survive and thrive depends on the strength of its roots.  When a plant’s roots are nourished they help anchor them in place, absorb and store nutrients for growth, and connect them to other organisms in their ecosystem.  At PLU we recognize wellbeing is holistic and multidimensional.  When viewed through the framework of DJS we see that our wellbeing is interconnected with each other and our environments.  At the start of the 2024-2025 school year we have the opportunity to ROOT ourselves in community and explore ways to build continuous NOURISHMENT that will allow us to support and hold each other accountable for meeting our individual and collective goals, now and into the future.
