Please join the Seminary Relations team in welcoming its newest Philanthropic Adviser, Mercedes Roesch. Some of you may know Mercedes from her time as a Master of Divinity student at Luther Seminary (she graduated in 2024). You also might recognize Mercedes’ name as an occasional contributor to Faith + Lead. Mercedes will be working remotely from her ranch in Eastern Colorado. She most recently was working in philanthropy for Agriculture Future of America. She has a passion for agriculture and family, especially at the intersection of faith and life for those in rural America. Feel free to send a welcome email to Mercedes at mroesch002@luthersem.edu. She will be here in person at the July All Hands Meeting if you would like to greet her there. Welcome, Mercedes!
