Announcements

It’s almost starting to feel like spring. But give it a few days and we’ll get some snow. No matter the weather, cyber criminals don’t stop. So 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.

For an easy way to stay informed about upcoming events, check out the Luther Seminary Community calendar. The calendar shares information about any seminary event open to the entire Luther community, to all students, or to all faculty and/or staff. Examples include chapel, community meals, social events, and important dates like upcoming Residential Focus Sessions. You can add the calendar to your regular Google calendar view and submit events via the community announcements submission process. (Note this calendar is for informational purposes only and does not reserve a room for you—use Coursedog to reserve a space on campus. Contact communic@luthersem.edu with questions.

In this devotion, Kjersten Karlsgodt Darling ’25 Ph.D. prays that God make us a people who draw near to those who are hurting. Read today’s God Pause.

Zvago St. Anthony Park, our neighbors at Luther Seminary, will begin a construction project starting Monday morning. As part of this work, the last two parking spaces on the north end of the shared parking lot (on the Zvago side) will be reserved for construction vehicles. Traffic cones will be placed to mark these spots—however, cones may move or blow away. Please do not park in those two spaces for the next two months or until the project is completed, even if the cones are not present. Your cooperation ensures construction crews can safely and reliably access their designated area. Thank you for helping support our neighbors during their project.
