The leaves are changing—a sure sign that Cyber Security Awareness Month is here! The falling leaves will be a reminder to view the cyber awareness videos. Our twice-annual cyber security training is starting up again for employees. Expect to see a notification email from Huntress, notifications@alerts.mycurricula.com, or visit directly to login. This season you’ll learn about why cyber criminals do what they do.

The choir is in need of a violinist to play an accompaniment part for chapel on Wednesday, November 4, with a rehearsal on Wednesday, October 28, 12:15–1:15 p.m. You can look over the part here. If you are interested or know someone willing and able to share their gifts, please email Carolina at cbowen001@luthersem.edu.

INVITE is a group on campus committed to “integrating nonviolence into theological education.” This group has been around since 2002. Several of the people who began it are now pastors locally who are living into this work with their congregations. This fall INVITE has already had people attend a Kingian nonviolence training at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church and gather to raise awareness around Indian Boarding Schools and their aftermath in the US. On October 13, we will join with ICOM (the interfaith coalition on immigration) in their monthly vigil at the Whipple Building by MSP airport. Join us that morning at 7:30 a.m. for an interfaith prayer vigil—a peaceful, nonviolent, prayerful way to bear witness to the challenges facing our immigrant communities and to be present to our beloved neighbors. Contact Mary Hess for information about INVITE and to be put on our email list.
