We are pleased to announce that Peter Susag has been promoted to Associate Director of Operations. In his new role, Peter will lead the staff and student workers supporting campus operations and facilities.

Please congratulate Peter when you have the opportunity.

Staff, faculty, and student workers have likely received an email asking them to complete Title IX training. This is a legitimate request—all staff, faculty, and student workers must complete this training. Student workers must complete this training even though you completed the student version earlier in the year. Please contact titleix@luthersem.edu if you have any questions.

What are Pocket Surveys? They are very brief surveys designed to gauge student views on different topics.
– They take at the most five minutes to complete on a computer, tablet, or a phone.
– They are always voluntary, and individual questions are optional.
– They are completely anonymous and confidential.
– They ask for some demographic information, as part of our commitment to support inclusion and belonging. Those questions are also optional.

What should I know about this Pocket Survey? The focus of this survey is Student Engagement in Seminary Community Life in anticipation of moving to a new campus. The survey will be open from November 9 through 20. Take the survey online today. Questions? Contact Trina in the Office of Institutional Research (research@luthersem.edu).
