The New Student Engagement Team is looking for current students to become New Student Peers. This volunteer position allows you to be a part of welcoming the new class of seminary students. As a new student peer, you will be responsible for:

• participating in a Zoom training session in late July or early August
• reaching out to new students 2-4 times during August
• a monthly check-in during fall semester to answer questions or point the students to someone who would have answers
• potentially taking students out for a coffee or a meal during RFS or early Fall Semester (reimbursed by admissions)

If you will be graduated by September 2025 or on leave from seminary during the 2025-26 school year, please do not fill out the form below. We’re hoping New Student Peers will be current students. Those on internship are welcome to participate. Fill out this online form by July 11 if you would like to be a New Student Peer. Questions? Email newstudents@luthersem.edu.

We invite you to celebrate and thank Rachel Postler for her work as project manager for the Festival of Homiletics. Her last day at Luther Seminary will be June 30. Rachel’s organization, leadership, and team-building has been integral to bringing the Festival into a new, post-Covid era. Her ability to listen deeply with a pastoral presence while also holding firm boundaries to move projects forward at a steady pace will be missed!

We gather at 11:00 a.m. CT in the OCC Meditation Chapel and online (link in email) for contemplative practice of your choice—mindful sketching, centering prayer, or however you choose to engage silence. Facilitated by the Dean of the Chapel Steve Thomason, we will read the Psalm of the day and then practice in silence for 15 minutes. Afterward, you are welcome to sit in fellowship or go about your day.
