The holidays are coming. We are being bombarded with messages to buy, buy, buy. Spend, spend, spend. But everything costs more, more, more! AHHHHHHHH!

A deep breath, a measure of flexibility, and a commitment to approach the world of rapidly changing finances with a calm spirit will help you navigate the ever-changing world of finances in this post-pandemic, pre-holiday season world. Bring your questions and worries. You will learn strategies and practices to help you with Kim Miller, Lutheran Social Services, Certified Financial Counselor.

Questions? Contact Arlene Flancher, Program Coordinator, Stewardship Leaders Program (aflancher001@luthersem.edu)

Reported employee cases: 2
Reported student cases: 0
Students in quarantine or 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, or if you are an unvaccinated individual who has been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 (close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of that person for 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period), 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 quarantine 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 for testing and quarantining (quarantine applies only to close contacts who are unvaccinated).
