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 October edition by Wednesday, September 9. 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.

You are invited to join us for a community lunch on Thursday, September 10 at 12:30 p.m. in the OCC Dining Room. This lunch follows a morning event where faculty will be exploring what we’ve learned through the Pathways II grant about how our students Know, Be, and Do in their formation. We’d love to have the whole Luther community join us afterward to celebrate and connect over a meal. To help us plan for food and seating, please sign up by September 3 on this online form to indicate that you’ll join us for lunch.
