Staff Departure: Arlene Flancher
The Office of Academic Affairs is sad to announce Arlene Flancher will be moving on from her role as Project Coordinator and Counselor on the Admissions Team to take a new position at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Arlene has deeply impacted students through her work with Children, Youth, and Family Ministry, advising students in the Professional MA programs, working with the Stewardship Leaders program, and most recently in her work with the Admissions team. Arlene brought a unique set of capacities to her role. She loves spreadsheets almost as much as she loves equipping leaders. She is as gifted at tackling complex projects and leading international travel groups as she is telling little people about Jesus and helping leaders discern their callings. We will miss her and wish her well as she returns to congregational ministry. Please join us in celebrating Arlene on Monday, September 9 from 8:30–10 a.m. in Bockman Hall 116. Bagels and coffee will be served.
Terri Elton, Dean of Academic Affairs
Andy Root, Professor of Children, Youth, and Family Ministry

Give Day 2024 Teams Are Set
At our most recent All Hands meeting, we announced that teams for the Give Day faculty/staff prize are going to be a little different this year. Instead of departments competing against one another, we have randomly assigned all faculty and staff members to teams of about 20. The team assignments have been emailed out, so check your inbox for an email from semrel@luthersem.edu with your team assignment. If you did not receive an email with your team assignment, please reach out to the Seminary Relations team at semrel@luthersem.edu and we will add you to a team. The first team to reach 100% participation will win the faculty/staff prize! Go to giveday.luthersem.edu to find out more and make your gift early starting on September 11.
