As part of our ongoing commitment to campus safety, Luther Seminary will be conducting a scheduled fire drill affecting the following buildings: Olson Campus Center (OCC), Bockman Hall, Gullixson Hall. The drill will take place on Tuesday, October 21 at 10:00 a.m. When the fire alarm sounds, all students, faculty, staff, and visitors are required to exit the buildings promptly, calmly, and in an orderly manner. Please follow all posted exit signs and instructions from safety personnel. Please use only stairwells, as elevators are disabled during an emergency. After exiting, proceed to the southernmost point of campus near the Luther Seminary sign on Como Avenue. If you are exiting from the Olson Campus Center, please use the walkway to the west, routed around Bockman Hall, to maintain a safe distance in the event of an emergency affecting that building. This drill is an important opportunity for our community to practice emergency preparedness procedures. Thank you for your cooperation and attentiveness in helping ensure the safety of all members of the Luther Seminary community.

Pastor Jon Anderson from the Inclusive Campus Community Committee will convene the conversation on Zoom (link in email) on Thursday October 23, 6–7 p.m. CT. This will be a conversation with small group and large group opportunities to reflect on the series and our callings as we think about the question: “What part will I play in creating a climate of ABIDE at Luther Seminary?”
