Spring 2018

Dear Classmate,

When you think back to our days at Luther, do you remember a time without social media, smartphones and streaming? When I think about it, it’s hard to believe that such media was just emerging right around the time we graduated. And now, fourteen years later it has become completely commonplace in our lives and pervasive in our culture. Back in ’04 we were dependent on just email and phone to stay connected and most of us used snail-mail to share pictures. How much did we realize then that our culture would shift so rapidly into a new kind of connectivity?
