Our sincere gratitude to all the students who participated in this academic year’s first pocket survey. The October 2024 Pocket Survey asked students to reflect on the work of the Admissions Office as it relates to messaging accuracy, recruitment practices, admissions processes, and general feedback and insights. You can find online our summary and the detailed results. If you have any questions or concerns about Pocket Surveys, please contact the Institutional Research Office at research@luthersem.edu. If you have questions about the survey summary, please contact admissions at jleclearvachta002@luthersem.edu. Thank you!

The dropping temperatures seem especially cold to our newest students, who are unaccustomed to Minnesota’s quickly changing seasons. Because most international students arrive from warm weather countries, they have no cold weather clothing to bring with them. International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) is collecting warm winter gear in good, usable condition for our international students. Along with winter coats, most needed are hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, boots, sweaters, and sweatshirts. Adult sizes only, specifically:

• Men’s small and medium; boots sized 6.5, 7.5, 9, or 10
• Women’s small or XL; boots sized 6.5 or 11

You may bring your donations to the OCC Operations Desk, to Student Affairs in Bockman 249, or leave them in the tub outside the Student Affairs office. No additional clothing is being accepted at this time. Any items not used will be donated locally to those in need. Questions? Contact Ruth Ibrahim, Bockman Head Resident, or Chenar Howard, ISSA Director. Thank you!
