Paul Daniels Retirement Shindig
Posted on May 20, 2025
The library staff invites you to join us for a raucous celebration of Paul Daniels’ many years of service as Luther Seminary’s archivist and art collection curator. Paul officially retires at the end of June, and we want to send him off with as much ballyhoo as possible to thank him for gracing us with over 40 years of time, effort, excellence, and thoughtful presence. Expect the usual round of embarrassing accolades—he is a shy Norwegian, after all—along with plenty of festive decorations, balloons, assorted treats and party favors, and a special chocolate cake (involving sprinkles, no doubt). Your presence is requested in the library’s periodicals room on Thursday, May 22, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

Golden Reunion – May 21
Posted on May 20, 2025
Join us this Wednesday, May 21 at 12 p.m. for lunch with the Golden Reunion attendees! Alumni from the class of 1975 will be on campus for their 50th Reunion. This lunch is a great chance for the Luther campus community to connect with alumni. Due to the Golden Reunion taking place on campus, we will have an influx of people and cars—to help accommodate this group visiting for their reunion, we ask that you leave campus lots open and park on the street, if you are able. Thank you!
