Announcements

Based on feedback from across the seminary community, we have updated the community announcements submission form. The updated form can still be accessed using the “Submit an Announcement” button in the right navigation on Inside Luther. The new version allows you to designate your announcement as an in-person, hybrid, or online event and have it automatically added to the Luther Seminary Community shared Google calendar.

Any announcements you’ve already submitted using the old form will be transferred and posted as planned (including being added to the LS Community Calendar, as appropriate). If you have the old form bookmarked or have the link stored elsewhere, please update your links. We will check responses to both forms this week (November 3–7) and then will not check the old form going forward. Contact communic@luthersem.edu with questions.
