Announcements

During the week of September 3-6, the Admissions Team will be working from home due to high-noise construction in the Olson Campus Center scheduled for the same week, but will plan to attend already-scheduled in-person meetings. Thank you for your patience as we navigate building construction. Questions? Email Jessi at jleclearvachta002@luthersem.edu.

Starting the week of September 3, we will be moving our accounts payable deadline from noon on Wednesdays to noon on Tuesdays. This change is designed to enhance our operational efficiency, ensure timely processing, and create a more balanced workflow for the business office team. We understand that this change may require some adjustments in your routines, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we implement this improvement. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

In this devotion, O. Wayne Shelksohn ’81 M.Div. prays that the Holy triune God of creation, redemption, and wisdom will make us clean. Read today’s God Pause.

Repairs to the area around the west entrance of Olson Campus Center continued this week. Our partners at G5 Construction have removed masonry in more areas of the outer walls and in the tunnel to expose more of the damaged supports and further assess the extent of structural deficiencies. As work progressed, it was discovered that the ramp/chapel wall mortar joints were degraded more severely than initially assessed. This additional brick has been removed and will be replaced.  

Like last week, this week includes work that is at times noisy and will produce some dust. We appreciate your patience and flexibility in utilizing (or not) the areas of OCC not directly related to the construction work.

For reminders about safety, project impacts, and communication, see my introductory message about the project.

As always, thank you for your support of our operations team and their work,
