Last Day to Nominate for Secondary Student Council Election
Today at 12 p.m. is the last day to nominate students for the secondary student council election. A secondary election is being held per the student council handbook because the positions of M.Div. Representative and Other Program Representative (which includes graduate certificate students) were not filled in the first election. If these positions remain vacant after the secondary election, the officers of student council will evaluate if another election will be held or the seat will remain vacant for the remainder of the term/year. Nominate yourself or someone you know online.

Invitation to Join in the ICOM Vigil
The Interfaith Coalition on Immigration is a local group that engages in courageous spiritual, multicultural action in solidarity with immigrants and refugees to achieve justice and stand up to systems of oppression. We hold a brief morning prayer vigil every second Tuesday of the month in front of the Whipple Federal Building (Bishop Henry Whipple Building, Federal Dr, Minneapolis), located near to the Mpls/StPaul airport. The next vigil will be October 8, starting at 7:30 a.m. I invite any and all of you to join in this vigil. I think it’s more powerful in person—and I’ll be there—but you can also attend via Zoom (a link is posted the night before). Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions!
