We invite you to celebrate and thank Rachel Postler for her work as project manager for the Festival of Homiletics. Her last day at Luther Seminary will be June 30. Rachel’s organization, leadership, and team-building has been integral to bringing the Festival into a new, post-Covid era. Her ability to listen deeply with a pastoral presence while also holding firm boundaries to move projects forward at a steady pace will be missed! 

The New Student Engagement Team is looking for current students to become New Student Peers!
This is a volunteer position that will allow you to be a part of welcoming the new class of seminary students. As a new student peer, you will be responsible for:

• participating in a Zoom training session in late July or early August
• reaching out to new students 2-4 times during August
• a monthly check-in during Fall Semester to answer questions or point the students to someone who would have answers
• potentially taking students out for a coffee or a meal during RFS or early Fall Semester (reimbursed by admissions)

If you will be graduated by September 2025 or will be on leave from seminary during the 2025-26 school year, please do not fill out the form below. We’re hoping New Student Peers will be current students. Those on internship are welcome to participate!

Please fill out this form by July 11th if you would like to be a New Student Peer.

If you have questions please email newstudents@luthersem.edu.

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to join us Wednesday, August 6 for an opportunity to experience the agricultural rural gathering Farmfest in Morgan, in southwestern Minnesota. We will leave at 7 a.m. in a van whose cost is covered by rural ministry grants. Tickets for participants from the seminary will also be covered. Morgan is a few hours from campus. We will arrive at the fest around 9:30 a.m. This is an opportunity to learn about the economics, politics, and lifestyles of rural and small-town people in this part of the midwest. There is room for five people in the van. People in the surrounding areas might want to join us as well and meet up at the festival. Learn more on the Farmfest website. Reach out to Jon Anderson, janderson008@luthersem.edu, with any questions.
