Announcements

We are honored to welcome the Fall 2024 incoming students to Luther Seminary! They have been hard at work in a 3-week orientation that just wrapped up on Friday. As part of their orientation, many incoming students contributed to the New Student Slideshow, available for viewing by the Luther Seminary community. Please join the New Student Engagement Team in welcoming our new students!

Luther Seminary students and community, stop by to say hello, enjoy a root beer float or other soda float, and hear about how you might want to work with admissions this year! Join us Thursday, September 12 from 2–3 p.m. on the Olson Campus Center (OCC) patio.

The Luther Seminary EcoFaith Network will host two informal gatherings during Fall RFS to get to know new students and share hopes for EcoFaith in the coming year. EcoFaith is a student organization that works on composting, education, events, legislative advocacy, and more. We will gather outside at the brown and white stucco house behind Gullixson Hall after class on Saturday, September 14 and Thursday, September 19. Feel free to stop by one or both gatherings to meet others interested in EcoFaith and make plans for the coming year! Snacks and pop/sparkling water will be provided. Contact Rachel at rwyffels001@luthersem.edu with questions.
