Farmfest Rural Economic and Cultural Experience – August 5 [In-Person]
Students, faculty, and staff, on Wednesday, August 5, there is an opportunity to experience an agricultural, rural gathering at Farmfest in southwestern Minnesota. We will leave Luther Seminary at 7 a.m. in a van whose cost is covered by rural ministry grants. Tickets will also be covered for participants. Morgan, Minnesota, is a couple of hours out. We will arrive at the fest around 9:30 and return home in the early evening. It may be closer for you to meet us at the Farmfest site. Parking is free. We will still pick up the cost of entering and lunch. This trip is an opportunity to learn about the opportunities, challenges, economics, politics, and lifestyle of rural and small-town people and communities in this part of the Midwest. Candidates for governor and senator in the state of Minnesota will be in candidate forums that day, too. If you have questions, email Jon Anderson, janderson008@luthersem.edu

Luther Seminary Moving to Passphrases
On July 14 we will move from passwords to passphrases for our logins. This is both more secure and easier to remember. Also, with Duo most students and faculty will not need to change their passphrase annually anymore (if you are the victim of any phishing, you will need to change your passphrase at that point). We have more details on this Passphrases FAQ.
