In this devotion, Janice Bornhoft ’88 M.Div. writes about the invitation to choose life. Read today’s God Pause.

Come celebrate the beginning of another year of learning, growth, and fellowship at our Back-to-School Block Party 4-6 p.m. Friday September 16, right before the first RFS session! We will be located by OCC. Food will be free and catered by Nelson’s Deli. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available. This will be a great opportunity to connect with new and old friends. Let’s start this school year well with friends, games, and free food!

Reported employee cases: 0
Reported student cases: 0
Students in isolation: 0

Reported cases only include students and employees who have been on campus within a period of time during which they may have been contagious. According to the CDC this includes two days prior to the onset of symptoms or a positive test.

If you have recently tested positive for COVID-19, please report that to the appropriate person. For employees, that person is Michael Morrow (mmorrow001@luthersem.edu). Students should contact Leon Rodrigues (deanofstudents@luthersem.edu).

Contact Tracing Protocol

When an on-campus case of COVID-19 is reported, that person is first asked to stay off-campus and isolate in accordance with CDC guidelines. In addition, the seminary takes two steps for contact tracing:

1. The Minnesota Department of Health is notified, per guidelines for institutions of higher education

2. The person reporting the case is asked to identify “close contacts”; the close contacts identified are notified of the exposure and asked to follow CDC guidelines.
