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.

You are invited to help us honor the life and work of renowned theologian Joseph Sittler. We hope you can be part of an informal gathering on Saturday, June 28 at Minnehaha Regional Park at 1:00 p.m. central. The event was originally scheduled last fall and postponed for better weather and more participation. The gathering will take place a mile downstream from Minnehaha Falls, at a new park bench installed in Sittler’s honor, near where Minnehaha Creek meets the Mississippi River. This scenic location was chosen to reflect Sittler’s belief that “nature is a theater of Grace.” Stewart Herman, visiting fellow at the Christensen Center on Vocation at Augsburg College and retired faculty of religion at Concordia College–Moorhead, is organizing the event and shares: “God’s Word is active in nature, which to the eyes of faith can be seen when the Minnehaha rushes to the Mississippi. We gather to honor Joseph Sittler’s path-breaking incorporation of ecology into Lutheran theology by sharing, individually, our favorite ideas from his work. Bring your favorite quote!” For more information, reach out to Dr. Herman at herman@cord.edu​.

The Office of the Registrar is closed Wednesday 6/25 through Friday 6/27. We will reopen on Monday 6/30. Registrar@luthersem.edu will be monitored occasionally during this time.
