Jennifer Wojciechowski, Ph.D. Candidate in History of Christianity will defend her dissertation, “Bringing the Kingdom: Religious Women’s Engagement in Social Reform in Minnesota from 1880 to 1920”. Thesis adviser is Mark Granquist. Thesis readers are Mary Jane Haemig and Walter Sundberg.

What is a Ph.D. oral defense? The oral defense is the final step before graduation for Ph.D. degree candidates. The student has finished all research and is presenting a thesis that is an original contribution to the field of scholarship. A copy of the completed thesis is available prior to the defenses for those in the Luther Seminary community: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gSNZxylk0D3PKIy_qVGSyKylyip0lXc4/view?usp=sharing

The oral examination is a public event open to faculty, students, staff and guests; however, other than the candidate, only faculty members have speaking privileges.

Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in October! When you see them around campus, be sure to give them huge thanks and a high five!
