Announcements

On July 9 and 11, Luther Seminary hosted two meetings with Master Properties, our partners in developing the lower campus, to share a presentation on the latest updates to their progress. We’ve posted some highlights (including links to the full presentation) on Inside Luther Seminary: http://inside.luthersem.edu/campus/2019/08/02/master-properties-shares-plans-for-lower-campus/

Of particular note is that the plan, as it now stands, will preserve the Chapel of the Cross as a worship space as part of the senior housing that will be built where Northwestern Hall now stands. In addition, the majority of the Breck Woods will be preserved.

Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in August! When you see them around campus, be sure to give them huge thanks and a high five!

We currently have 14 new international students confirmed for an August arrival, with a few more possible. Almost all of these students will be living in Stub Hall.

Please help International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA) extend a warm welcome to them by donating items for their rooms (as noted in the link). Items may be dropped off in (or mailed to) Student Affairs (NW 120 suite), preferably by August 15. Many thanks!

The seminary now has a site license for Zoom which means everyone has a Zoom Pro account. A Pro account can host a meeting for up to 100 participants for a duration of up to 24 hours. All faculty, staff, and students have Pro accounts now.

If you need help getting started with Zoom there are many many help articles provided by Zoom at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/categories/200101697

The Contextual Learning office will be closed Tuesday August 6th starting at 12:00 pm. It will be closed all day Wednesday August 7th and Thursday August 8th as we prepare for and host Internship Supervisor Training.

The Student Affairs Team will be out of the office on Monday, July 29 as we attend an Annual Title IX/VAWA Investigator and Adjudicator Training. Our Community Life Fellows will still be in the office and available to assist you.
