ANNOUNCEMENTS
Inauguration of President Carlson
Hold the date! The 10th day, the 10th month, the 10th president. The inauguration of Paula J. Carlson as the 10th President of Luther College will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, as part of Homecoming festivities.
Main Building smoke update
No, Main isn't burning down again. On Monday afternoon, an employee noticed smoke in Main. Security was notified and local emergency services were called in. After an investigation, it was determined that a circuit overheated due to age causing a smoky haze in the central stairwell. No one was injured and there was no property damage. Facilities is examining the unit and will replace parts as needed. Thank you to Kari Goodno, James Barker, Erik Stoen, Bob Harri and Jay Uthoff, the local Fire and Police Departments, and everyone else who took time over the holiday weekend to ensure the safety and security of the campus.

Lora's memorial service will be Friday, May 30, 1 p.m. in the CFL, with visitation beginning at noon. A luncheon will follow in Peace Dining Room.
Members of the Luther community are invited to bring a dessert or salad to the luncheon. We suggest employees in Main consider bringing salads and employees in the Union, desserts.
