The New Student Engagement Team is looking for current students to become New Student Peers. This volunteer position allows 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 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. Fill out this online form by July 11 if you would like to be a New Student Peer. Questions? Email newstudents@luthersem.edu.
