Get your dice ready! Jacob Summerville (’24) will be hosting two Dungeons & Dragons one-shots virtually. Please sign-up here. A few things to note:

• Make sure you’d have 3-4 hours open to play.
• You will have to create your character before the session. If you want assistance, contact Jacob Summerville (jsummerville001@luthersem.edu).
• Please sign up for just one One-Shot so as many people as possible can play.

Session information:

• Session 1: Thursday, February 9th, 5pm CST
• Session 2: Friday, February 10, 4pm CST
• Reach out to Community Life (communitylife@luthersem.edu) or Jacob Summerville with any questions.

Ken Reynhout, Director of Institutional Effectiveness, Assessment, and Research, will be leading a free course for any interested members of faculty or staff on the basics of designing effective surveys. The course will be delivered by Zoom in four one-hour sessions, the first Thursday of each month at 12:00 noon beginning in February. Each session will be recorded. Individual sessions may be missed, if necessary, but attendees should watch recordings of any missed prior sessions before attending a new session. These sessions will temporarily replace the monthly Qualtrics user group meetings, which will resume in June.
