Announcements
ABIDE Retreat – June 9 [In-Person]
Tuesday, June 9, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
OCC Dining Room
All are welcome to join this on-campus retreat for a time of learning more about Luther Seminary’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion called ABIDE—centered around our common commitments of accountability, belonging, inclusion, diversity, and equity. We will listen carefully to one another, celebrate the great work happening in our community, and spend time refocusing and reenergizing this work. This retreat is for those who have been engaged in ABIDE work to reconnect with one another as well as an opportunity for those new to this kind of work to engage the community’s approach. Direct any questions you might have to: abide@luthersem.edu. Snacks and lunch will be provided. Register here (with your seminary email) if you plan to attend so we can ensure adequate space and refreshments for all. The deadline to register is Monday, June 1.
