In light of Luther Seminary’s shift to online classes, and to ensure we are caring well for our student employees, the Office of Technology helpdesk will be closed to walk-up support on Monday, March 16th & Tuesday, March 17th. With guidance from senior leadership, we will be developing a plan on how best to provide technical support to the campus community in an ongoing way. Watch for additional information in the days to come, and feel free to email helpdesk@luthersem.edu or call 651-641-3462 for any technical assistance you may need.

Join Sarah Luedtke-Jones and Pastor Jeni Grangaard for a coffee break starting at 11am on Tuesday, March 17th. Bring a mug of something warm and come for conversation, check-in time, stories, and, most of all: community. Join us on Zoom by following this link: https://luthersem.zoom.us/my/sempastor

Due to the pending need for faculty and staff to work from home, the Office of Technology pushed out an additional software package to Luther Seminary computers on Monday, which will aid in our ability to support you in a remote capacity. The software, BeyondTrust Remote Support, will have no impact on the functionality or security of your computer. It will, however, allow for OT staff to remotely assist you with any technical issues, with your authorization of course. More details will be posted on the OT website on Wednesday, but our rapidly changing reality required us to deliver this software to you in an expedient manner. 

Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me at jmatthias001@luthersem.edu or watch for a more detailed description on the OT website on Wednesday.
