Discounts are offered for Luther Seminary staff and students: staff can attend the entire conference for $400, students for $250 (discount code LUTHERFULL).

Want to share something in an upcoming edition of Inside Luther News, the seminary’s internal e-newsletter? Send your announcement to communic@luthersem.edu. Submit items for the June edition by Wednesday, May 13. Inside Luther News content is meant to be somewhat broader in scope—seasonal announcements, monthly reminders, stories about recent events or news of upcoming projects—than the daily Community Announcements posts and emails.
