If you have any ideas or concerns, the initial members of the team include: Rolf Jacobson and Jody Nyenhuis (academic affairs), Terra Zosel (operations), Sarah Luedtke-Jones (student services), Tom Mullaney (facilities), and Jim Matthias (technology). Additional members are being recruited. Email academicdean@luthersem.edu with questions or suggestions.
