320 students attended and our employers were very impressed.Here is what some comments they had to about our PLU candidates:

“Candidates came prepared with resumes and specific questions.”

“Always see professional students here.”

“Very professional students.”

“Great group of students!”

Thank you for making the 2013 Expo one of the best yet!Check out what else Career Connections has to offer!

This year we have introduced a new project on the PLU website called “Lute Voices” where alumni can share their stories about PLU and how it affected their lives. For the featured series, “Lift Up a Lute,” we are asking all alumni to choose someone who made an impact on their time at PLU.

The stories that have come in have been amazing. So much so, that the Office of Alumni & Constituent Relations wants to share them with you! Starting now until the end of the school year we will be sharing a different story. We hope you enjoy!

For the Lift Up a Lute project, I am choosing to lift up David Berntsen. David worked in the

Development Office for 30 years and was the prime mover behind the Q Club at the Universi-ty. Over the years the Q Club provided thousands of scholarships for students who otherwise

might not have been able to attend PLU. But more than this, David was a “cheerleader” for PLU in every sense of the word. His favorite phrase was that we need to “enthuse” people about PLU. Dave’s pride of being a Lute exuded from him 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!

There is no better example of being a loyal Lute than Dave Berntsen.

Ed Larson ‘57

For the Lift Up a Lute project, I am choosing to lift up Auden Toven. He was not only a humble and patient teacher of Norwegian and Scandinavian Studies from whom I learned a lot, he

was also a terrific ski coach! With a quiet sense of humor he taught a bunch of us girls how to ski cross country, not at a leisurely pace, but as fast as we could go. He never gave up on us, as

he never gave up on PLU. He epitomized the PLU spirit through his entire long career.
