Womanistcare and SisTheology Lecture—October 15

Posted on October 3, 2023

Join Dr. Cody Sanders for a lecture at University Baptist Church in Minneapolis (1219 University Ave. SE) on Sunday, Oct. 15 at 7:00 p.m. (or 6:00 p.m. for a light meal at the church before the lecture). The lecturer is Rev. Dr. Toya Richards, whose research addresses the questions: How has the impact of prolonged racism and white supremacy affected the psyches of black women living in South Minneapolis and their sense of being worthy and vital members of humanity? And what do they need to thrive and sustain themselves for the long haul? If you are unable to attend the lecture on October 15 in person, it will also be live streamed here. Dr. Sanders will meet whoever wishes to attend at the church just prior to the lecture beginning.

Student Cybersecurity Awareness Training Available—Plus AirPods Prize Drawing

Posted on October 3, 2023

To celebrate October as cybersecurity awareness month and to help with phishing awareness we’ve made a cybersecurity training course available to students in Moodle (it will be on the main course dashboard). I invite students to go through this short course and take the quiz at the end. Doing so enters you in a drawing for a pair of Apple airpods.

Everyone who has a login to the Luther Seminary network has a role to play to keep our digital campus secure. Phishers are not always interested in you or your information. They’re often interested in using your login and email account to phish other people at the seminary who have access to valuable personal information.

Completing the quiz successfully by 3 p.m. October 31 will enter you in a drawing for a pair of Apple airpods. Winner will be notified by email.

Students: We Invite You to Complete Our First Pocket Survey

Posted on October 3, 2023

What is a pocket survey? 

These are short surveys to gauge your views about your experiences on campus. These should be distributed monthly and be based on a different topic each month. Responses will be shared with the Luther community.  The “pocket survey” will take at the most five minutes to complete on a computer, tablet, or a phone. Taking the survey is voluntary, but we urge you to share your thoughts! These are confidential and anonymous. You don’t have to answer questions you are not comfortable with. We do ask for demographics as part of our commitment to inclusion and belonging. We want to acknowledge and respect how diversity influences perspectives.

What are the details? 

The first pocket survey will focus on technology on campus. It opens Monday, October 2 and will close at the end of the day on Monday, October 9.  You can access the survey via QR codes listed on posters around campus or follow this link to the survey.
