There will be prospective students on campus on April 24 for the monthly Campus Visit Day hosted by the Admissions Office. Feel free to greet them during lunch church or if you see them out and about. Please reach out to Ashley T. at welcome@luthersem.edu with any questions.

Join us Thursday, April 24, 7-9 p.m. for a Brewery Night in the West Metro hosted by the student council rep for commuter students. This spring we are trying to have gatherings once a month out in the suburbs to make it easier for those of us that live a little bit further out from campus. This month we’ll gather at Luce Line Brewery in Plymouth for an evening of fun, fellowship, and food (food is on us, you have to buy your own alcohol). Everyone—students, faculty, staff—is welcome, especially those who love craft beer and/or live in the West Metro. Watch for future gatherings in other suburban communities. Questions? Contact Lauren (lmildahl001).
