Marilyn Roverud Endowed Fellowship in Lutheran Studies

Established in celebration of our namesake, Martin Luther, and in honor of the inspired leadership of Marilyn (Haugen) Roverud ’66, alumna, regent, synod volunteer, mother, patron of the arts, friend, and more, by the Roverud Family.  As a liberal arts institution and college of the church, Luther embraces a way of learning described by Dr. Darrell Jodock as the “third way” – committed to academic freedom to seek the truth, respectful of other faith traditions, and disciplined to seek whatever will truly serve the needs of the neighbor and make the world more trustworthy.  It is the Roverud Family’s intent that this fellowship serve as a catalyst for lively and informed discussion about what it means to be a college of the church. This fellowship shall be awarded annually to a tenured member of the Luther College faculty, who has demonstrated exceptional teaching skills, who inspires students to achieve, and who individually or collaboratively with a student scholar, wishes to pursue research pertaining to Lutheranism.
