Day in the Life

Luther Seminary offers three ways for prospective students to come and visit:

1. individually (any time that is convenient for them and the school)
2. during "Ventures in Vocation" (held in the fall, mainly for individuals who have been out of college for a while)
3. during "Day in the Life" (held in the spring, mainly for college-age individuals)

This past Sunday and Monday, Feb. 19-20, "Day in the Life" was held here on campus. It gathered 30+ individuals, all interested in possible future study at Luther Seminary.

Over the 24-hour period these individuals had the opportunity to attend classes, attend daily chapel, meet with current students, visit professors in their homes and enjoy dessert, ask questions, enjoy meals and spend time together in fellowship and conversation with one another. Everyone who attended found the experience beneficial in their process of discernment regarding seminary study.

I had the opportunity to interact with students most directly during meal times and at a seminar I helped lead. It was fun to see students here on campus that I had met out on the road. Many thanks to our student hosts and staff whose hospitality and knowledge of the seminary really provide excellent resources for these prespective students, but more importantly spoke from the heart about this place and made it all the more real for those visiting.
