A message from the president
It’s a great day for ball games at Luther College as I write to you this afternoon. The spring sun is coaxing green buds from trees all across our valley, and its warm rays are shining off the beautiful new stadium seats and bleachers in our recently completed baseball and softball stadiums. Thanks to many of you in the President’s Council, Luther now has the best stadiums in the Iowa Conference! I wish you could all join me for a couple of home games as a thank-you for all you do for Luther.
Your continued giving provides not only improved facilities on campus, but essential support for students at every turn, from scholarships to faculty/student research funds to internship connections to expert professors, staff, and coaches. Because you give to Luther, we’re able to provide our students with a quality education and a nurturing community. Luther’s renowned education challenges students to expand their knowledge, and our caring community gives them the confidence to set big goals. We’ve just learned that come summer a number of Luther graduates are heading to prestigious graduate programs such as the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Creighton University’s occupational therapy program. Other new graduates will start jobs at major companies such as John Deere or with
healthcare leaders such as Mayo Clinic. And still others will serve communities around the world through Lutheran Volunteer Corps and Young Adults in Global Mission.
I invite you to come spend time on campus this year and see the impact of your generosity—engaged, inspired students. Attend a choral, symphony, or band concert. Take in a student theatre production. Or pull on a ball cap and join me at one of our fields.
Thank you to everyone in the President’s Council for being an active member of the Luther community. You keep Luther College strong. Thank you for your partnership in fulfilling our important mission to our students and the larger world.
Soli Deo Gloria!
Paula J. Carlson
President
The following pages list individuals and organizations that have provided financial support to Luther College of $1,500 or more—or $750 or more for alumni in their first decade after graduation—in the past calendar year, January 1–December 31, 2016, and those who have provided $100,000 or more to the college cumulatively through December 31, 2016. In recognition of their leadership in giving, these donors qualify as members of the Luther College President’s Council.
Gifts at all levels are vital in providing scholarship assistance for students, ensuring the success of academic and cocurricular programs, and meeting needs for technology, equipment, and facility maintenance and replacement.
