We’re kicking off the third summer of doing New Student Peers. The NSP program pairs you with 2-4 incoming students as a person they can go to with questions. You’re also a familiar face they will see when they’re on campus or in class. As a New Student Peer, you are responsible for:

• Attending a 1-hour training at the end of July (time TBD)
• 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)

This is a volunteer position! If you are a graduated senior or on leave for the school year, please do not fill out this form. Interns are welcome to be a New Student Peer. If you are interested in being a New Student Peer, please fill out this form by July 19. Questions? Contact New Student Engagement (newstudents@luthersem.edu) or Natalie Wussler (nwussler001@luthersem.edu)

To enhance student learning and leadership formation outside of coursework, Luther Seminary is introducing Graduate Fellowships. Fellowships are co-curricular leadership development opportunities for small groups of students to explore in-depth particular topics or areas of ministry. Led by key staff and/or faculty, Graduate Fellowships include learning from ministry practitioners, in-person retreats with fellowship participants, monthly gatherings, and experiential learning.

Luther Seminary is now accepting applications for the following Graduate Fellowships, beginning in Fall 2024:

• Cultivating New Christian Communities – questions can be directed to Jody Nyenhuis at jnyenhuis001@luthersem.edu  

• Beloved Community Fellowship – questions can be directed to  Samuel Zalanga at abide@luthersem.edu 

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and accepted until the end of July. It is recommended you complete your application as soon as possible as space and funding is limited. Apply here.

Please note, applicants must have active student status upon admission to the Graduate Fellowship program.
