TODAY: Luther Spirit Day [In-Person]
Students, today at Mount Olivet—Thursday, January 15—we’ll have a photographer and videographer on site to capture visually some of shared community experiences in this exciting, off-campus space. You are encouraged to wear a Luther Seminary-branded shirt or other apparel on this day. Wearing something maroon and/or gray (but not branded) is great too. (Staff and faculty, you’re welcome to join in the fun too!)
