Join us today—Wednesday, May 21—at 12 p.m. for lunch with the Golden Reunion attendees! Alumni from the class of 1975 will be on campus for their 50th Reunion. This lunch is a great chance for the Luther campus community to connect with alumni. Due to the Golden Reunion taking place on campus, we will have an influx of people and cars—to help accommodate this group visiting for their reunion, we ask that you leave campus lots open and park on the street, if you are able. Thank you!

The library staff invites you to join us for a raucous celebration of Paul Daniels’ many years of service as Luther Seminary’s archivist and art collection curator. Paul officially retires at the end of June, and we want to send him off with as much ballyhoo as possible to thank him for gracing us with over 40 years of time, effort, excellence, and thoughtful presence. Expect the usual round of embarrassing accolades—he is a shy Norwegian, after all—along with plenty of festive decorations, balloons, assorted treats and party favors, and a special chocolate cake (involving sprinkles, no doubt). Your presence is requested in the library’s periodicals room on Thursday, May 22, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

In this devotion, Mark Niethammer ’09 M.Div., reminds us that today is a great day because God made it. Read today’s God Pause.

The leadership of the International Students Association (ISA), in collaboration with the Office of International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA), invites the Luther Seminary community to a Farewell Program and Dinner in honor of our graduating international students on Tuesday, May 20, 3–5 p.m. in OCC Dining Room A. Join us as we celebrate the achievements of our international graduates and send them off with joy, food, and fellowship. Dress is semi-formal/cultural attire.

In this devotion, Mark Niethammer ’09 M.Div., prays that we might find a good place to pray. Read today’s God Pause.
