As a new academic year begins, PLNU President Kerry Fulcher welcomes incoming students into a community shaped by generations of faith, learning, service, and God's faithfulness. His message offers an opportunity to reflect not only on the year ahead, but also on the remarkable story that has brought Point Loma Nazarene University to this moment.
As PLNU approaches its 125th anniversary, President Fulcher introduces Legacy of Light, a shared narrative honoring the people, moments, and faithful calling that have illuminated the university's journey since its founding. While much has changed throughout PLNU's history, its commitment to preparing students to live lives of purpose and service continues to shine forward.
As a new generation of Sea Lions begins its PLNU story, we celebrate the legacy entrusted to us and look with anticipation toward the light still to come. To hear what President Fulcher has to say about our Legacy of Light celebration, check out our new YouTube video!
