Students come to Luther Seminary with an array of interests that stretch beyond the classroom. From working on justice-related issues to writing for Luther’s student publication to getting your hands dirty in the soil, we have a group for you. And if we don’t? Then start one yourself! Luther Seminary strives to provide a supportive atmosphere for student’s interests and passions.
Officially recognized student groups have rights to reserve rooms for meetings, arrange for display tables on campus, obtain some clerical support from the Community Life Fellows in the Student Affairs office and have their group listed on this page.
Below is an overview of some of the student groups active on campus. Meetings will be announced via Inside Luther; many of the groups also have a Facebook page.
To be counted as an official student group for this academic year, please complete the following form.
Eco-Faith Team
The Eco-Faith Team at Luther Seminary is a group of students, staff, and faculty who are committed to caring for creation. We take on several projects a year to help make the buildings and grounds of the seminary more “green,” to raise awareness and educate the Luther community about environmental issues, and to celebrate God’s good creation in our worship and educational life together.

RIC Advocacy Committee
Since 2015, the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Advocacy Committee advocates for the full welcome, inclusion, and equity of all LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and people of color at Luther Seminary. We hope and pray that through hosting educational events we can open hearts and minds to beginning the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) process at Luther Seminary. RIC is a formal designation done through Reconciling Works that ensures full welcome, inclusion, equity, and affirmation of all people.

Technicolor
Technicolor is a student group offering support to those who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ (an alphabet-soup acronym that includes those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, allies, Two Spirit). Additionally, Technicolor presents educational opportunities for the entire Luther Seminary community regarding LGBT people and issues. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we seek to walk and talk together on a journey towards a greater understanding of God and of ourselves.
