Join us Thursday, November 12 from 3–6 p.m. in OCC Dining Room A for our annual Global Agape Feast and Cultural Display at Luther Seminary. Welcome to a celebration of unity, diversity, and community. The Agape Feast includes a shared meal, fellowship, and wonderful conversations celebrating our diverse backgrounds. To make the experience even more vibrant, the suggested attire for this event is traditional cultural attire based on the cultures you represent. The ongoing Cultural Display is a showcase of the rich cultures represented on our campus, from domestic to international students, each carrying unique and beautiful stories to share. The Cultural Display is located in Bockman Hall Room 116 and will be open November 12–19. Visit the display to explore exhibits highlighting the vibrant heritages and stories of our campus community.

Congratulations to our colleagues celebrating work anniversaries in November!
