Archives for November 2024

Repairs to the area around the west entrance of Olson Campus Center have been completed. All enclosures and barricades have been removed, and these spaces and entrances are once again open to the community. We are grateful to our partners at G5 for their expert work on this complex construction process. And I want to offer a special word of thanks to our maintenance and operations team for their work repairing and reinstalling the steel roofing façade at the top of Olson Campus Center (see first photo below).

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

Join us online (link in email) on Friday, November 22 at 1 p.m. for a Friday afternoon refresher on using our new CourseDog Software for looking at room reservations and scheduling a room. We will quickly review where to find the links, how the search function works and then have time for any questions. Bonus points for those that bring or show photos of their canine friends! Email solson007@luthersem.edu for a calendar invite.

What are Pocket Surveys?

• Short surveys to gauge your views about your experiences with various offices on campus.
• These surveys take five minutes at the most to complete on a computer, tablet, or a phone. Taking the survey is voluntary, but we urge you to share your thoughts!
• These are confidential and anonymous. You don’t have to answer questions you are not comfortable with.
• We do ask for demographics as part of our commitment to inclusion and belonging. We want to acknowledge and respect how diversity influences perspectives.
• General results are shared with the Luther Seminary community.
• The team/area of focus responds to students about the results in a timely manner.

What are the details for this month?

• Focus is on the Marketing and Communications team.
• Open from 11/11/2024 through 11/22/2024.
• Take the survey online today!
