The Admissions team is hosting a Young Adult Immersion Retreat from August 19-21. A small group of young adults will be residing in Bockman Hall for this retreat, and we will facilitate several group activities for them throughout their time here. Please feel free to give them a warm welcome if you see them. Questions? Email welcome@luthersem.edu.

The major repair project to the area around the west entrance of Olson Campus Center began last week. Our partners at G5 moved equipment into the building, installed temporary enclosures, and prepared other aspects of the project. This week they began several significant tasks: 

• Removing masonry and windows prior to ramp demolition
• Removing masonry in the tunnel to expose damaged support beams
• Testing brick and masonry replacement to ensure color matching for replaced brick

This week includes work that is at times noisy and will produce some dust. We appreciate your patience and flexibility in utilizing (or not) the areas of OCC not directly related to the construction work.

For reminders about safety, project impacts, and communication, see my introductory message about the project.

As always, thank you for your support of our operations team and their work,
Rob Verke
