Invitation to Join in the ICOM Vigil
The Interfaith Coalition on Immigration is a local group that engages in courageous spiritual, multicultural action in solidarity with immigrants and refugees to achieve justice and stand up to systems of oppression. We hold a brief morning prayer vigil every second Tuesday of the month in front of the Whipple Federal Building (Bishop Henry Whipple Building, Federal Dr, Minneapolis), located near to the Mpls/StPaul airport. The next vigil will be October 8, starting at 7:30 a.m. I invite any and all of you to join in this vigil. I think it’s more powerful in person—and I’ll be there—but you can also attend via Zoom (a link is posted the night before). Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions!

After Ms. Guzman’s twenty-minute address, Cody Sanders will lead us in a thirty-minute discussion so that we can all reflect and digest what we have learned.

VA Benefits for Students
New students eligible for VA benefits or tuition assistance, please email the Office of the Registrar to initiate the process. The Office of the Registrar will submit to the Veterans Administration certification of a veteran’s enrollment for military benefits purposes. This is typically done at the beginning of each term after the add/drop period closes and can be requested by the student at any other time. Please email the Office of the Registrar (registrar@luthersem.edu) with questions about the VA reporting process.
