      Strategic Plan

      Beginning in Fall 2019, soon after the appointment of LPU’s 11th president, the University began work on a new strategic plan to guide the institution’s efforts and assure long-term viability. The approved plan, The Next 100: Transforming the Generations, provides the institution with a course of action for the next five to seven years during which LPU will celebrate its centennial (2023).

      VOTER REGISTRATION INFORMATION

      Life Pacific University encourages students to register to vote. As Christians, we recognize human government as an ordinance of divine appointment, and teach obedience to it as a sacred duty, within its legitimate sphere. We also have a responsibility to assure good government, and we exercise this responsibility when we vote. Furthermore, the 1998 Higher Education Act requires all post-secondary institutions to make a good-faith effort to distribute voter registration forms to each degree or certificate-seeking student who attends classes on campus. The following information is provided to assist you in registering to vote either in California or in your home state.

      In order to vote, you must be a U.S. citizen and at least 18 years old at the time of the next election. As a college student you may register either in California using your college residential address or at home using your permanent home address. When completing your voter registration form please note that P.O. boxes are not permitted as your residential/home address. If you live on-campus, list the address of the college as your home address and if you live off-campus use your off-campus street address.

      California registration forms are available on-line at www.cavotes.org/vote/register. Forms are also available at post offices, libraries, city hall, or department of motor vehicle offices.

      For information regarding California registration deadlines please see the California State Board of Elections website: www.sos.ca.gov/elections.
