As a reminder to all, exterior doors on campus remain locked at all times, and a Luther Seminary ID is required for building access. You will find—this fall only—that Olson Campus Center doors are unlocked during weekday afternoons and evenings to provide public access to the Smithsonian exhibit. Bockman and Gullixson Halls remain locked. Please keep your Luther Seminary ID with you at all times when you are on campus.
