The application for graduation is now open on MyLutherNet for those completing their academic work during the 2024-2025 academic year (September 9, 2024 through August 29, 2025). To complete the application, go to MyLutherNet/My Degree/Graduation Application 2024-2025 All Students (left side navigation). If you are planning on completing your degree this academic year and have not received the email announcement or are unable to access the application for graduation on MyLutherNet, please contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@luthersem.edu. The non-refundable graduation fee for all graduating students will be added to student accounts when fall tuition charges are run.

Repairs to the area around the west entrance of Olson Campus Center continued last week and this week. Our partners at G5 Construction have replaced or reinforced many of the main steel support beams in the outer walls and restructured some of the window frames along the outer wall of the chapel and in the tunnel. Now that structural support has been improved, the upper ramp surface and interior ramp membrane has been completely removed and some concrete replacement work has begun. They are taking levels on the upper ramp to mitigate swales where water and ice can pool. A newly discovered problem in the drainage pipe running southwest away from the building has been remediated.

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,
