First Week, Postlude

As I think back to the events of First Week I do so with a smile on my face. I am proud to be a part of a seminary that takes four full days to make sure those that are new feel welcome, wanted and are given the tools, right from the start, to succeed. And I know that care will not end after classes begin. Luther Seminary is not a perfect seminary, no seminaryis, but it takes seriously its calling to train leaders for ministry and to fulfill that calling to the best of its ability. Because of this, it is easy for me to encourage students to come here to study and see if this place best fits what they need to be equipped for ministry.

If you are thinking you want to come and see if Luther Seminary is that place for you I invite you to participate in “Ventures in Vocation.”

And if these dates pose a conflict for you, please contact our Welcome Coordinator, Barbara McCauley (800.LUTHER3 or welcome@luthersem.edu) and find a date that will work best.

And who knows, maybe next year you will be the new student going through the events of First Week.
